Folded hands

aka folded hands

When we pray, we hope. The folded hands are used to communicate just that: prayer and hope. These touching hands can also be a form of hello in some cultural exchanges, as folded hands with a bow means hello or goodbye. This emoji can also be used to express gratitude. Sometimes this emoji might be used as a high-five or congratulations. Whenever you see it, be sure to read the context clues!
