Trying to figure out the difference between πŸ™Œ and πŸ™? Don’t see how 🀲 and πŸ‘ could possibly be different? There are a few emojis depicting two hands, and they all work a little differently from one another. In this article, we’ll break down everything you need to know about the πŸ™Œ (raised hands) emoji, 🀲 (palms up) emoji, πŸ™ (folded/praying hands) emoji, and the πŸ‘ (open hands) emoji.

[Edit]πŸ™Œ (Raised Hands) Emoji Meanings

  1. The πŸ™Œ emoji represents celebration and positive vibes. The πŸ™Œ emoji depicts someone raising their hands high over their head. This gesture is common when you see someone rooting the home team on, or praising someone. In fact, this emoji originally meant “give me ten!” as in two high-fives. You might see it used like this:

    • “I just heard you got the gig!! Congrats! I’m so excited for you πŸ™Œ.”
    • “You crushed that presentation πŸ™Œ!”
    • “I know you start freshman year this week. Are you amped? I can’t wait to see what you do next πŸ™Œ!!!”
  2. You can use a πŸ™Œ emoji to encourage or motivate someone. If you want to compliment someone, encourage them, or otherwise shower them with praise, throw a πŸ™Œ in there to give your message a little razzle dazzle. For example:

    • “You’re the best πŸ™Œ.”
    • “I loved seeing you perform. You’re so talented πŸ™Œ!”
    • “You crushed it today. I wouldn’t make it without you πŸ™Œ!”
  3. In fringe cases, a πŸ™Œ emoji can represent momentum or high energy. The little lines at the top of the raised hands emoji indicate motion. Since there are relatively few emojis that are stylized this way, you can use the raised hands emoji to emphasize how hype you are, or to convey energetic movement. For example:

    • “It’s time to get up! Where are you? I’m trying to go πŸ™Œ.”
    • “I got up πŸ™Œ and I turned up πŸ’―.”
    • “LET’S GOOOO πŸ™Œ πŸ™Œ πŸ™Œ”

[Edit]🀲 (Palms Up) Emoji Meanings

  1. The 🀲 emoji typically represents prayer. This 🀲 emoji shows a set of open palms, held open towards the sky. Often, this emoji is used to emphasize prayer (but more of a somber, serious form of prayer than the πŸ™ (folded/praying hands) emoji). For example:
    What Does the Two Hands Emoji Mean Step 4.jpg
    • “Everything I have I owe to God 🀲.”
    • “Just trust the universe and 🀲. Everything will work out.”
    • “I 🀲 every night before bed that things will get better.”
  2. You can use a 🀲 emoji to ask for help or showcase humility. If you want to (kind of playfully) ask for something, you can add a 🀲 to signal that you’re trying to be gracious, kind of like you aren’t super happy about having to ask for a handout. You can also use this emoji to showcase some grace and humbleness. You could say:
    What Does the Two Hands Emoji Mean Step 5.jpg
    • “πŸ˜”πŸ€². I need some help…I hate to ask, but can you cover my lunch today?”
    • “I hate to do this, but can I maybe hitch a ride to work this week? 🀲”
    • “I could use some $ if you got paid this week 🀲. I promise to pay you back 😊!”
  3. You could use a 🀲 to reference reading. The palms up emoji happens to look a lot like the American Sign Language gesture for “book.”[1] On top of that, people often hold open books with their hands together, kind of like the 🀲 emoji. If you want to encourage someone to read or talk about a book, you can use the palms up emoji.[2] You might say:

    • “I can’t meet up tonight. I have to finish this book for class tomorrow 🀲.”
    • “I love a good book 🀲. I actually read every night before bed.”
    • “Why are you texting me? Aren’t you supposed to be 🀲 for English?”

[Edit]πŸ™ (Folded/Praying Hands) Emoji Meanings

  1. The πŸ™ emoji represents prayer or thankfulness. The πŸ™ emoji shows two hands pressed together. This often represents prayer, since this is the gesture many religious people make when they’re praying.[3] It’s also the gesture people make sometimes when they say “thank you” or “I appreciate you,” so it’s often used that way as well.

    • “Thank you so much for helping me out today. I really appreciate it πŸ™.”
    • “You are the best! I know you stuck your neck out for me and it means a lot πŸ™. ”
    • “I know you’re having a rough one. It’s days like these where it helps to remember it’s all a part of a bigger plan πŸ™. You got this.”
  2. Use a πŸ™ emoji to express gratitude in a sincere way. The most common usage of the πŸ™ emoji isn’t usually religious. You may use this emoji to say “thank you” in a more vibrant way. There’s nothing wrong with using this emoji to say “praise God,” but you may get more mileage out of it as a decorative way of showing thanks.[4] Someone could say: You might say:

    • “Thank you for today πŸ™. Seriously. You’re the best.”
    • “We’ve got this! πŸ™ πŸ™ πŸ™”
    • “I know you’ve got a lot on your plate, but I wanted to say that I’m proud of you πŸ™.”
  3. You might use a πŸ™ emoji to high-five someone. If you imagine each hand in the πŸ™ emoji belongs to two different people, this emoji kind of looks like a high-five. If you want to throw a digital high-five someone’s way, you can 100% use this emoji to decorate your message.[5] For example:

    • “You nailed it πŸ™.”
    • “You crushed that interview πŸ™.”
    • “High-five! πŸ™”

[Edit]πŸ‘ (Open Hands) Emoji Meanings

  1. The πŸ‘ emoji represents either general openness, or a hug. This πŸ‘ emoji shows two palms pressed together and turned open towards the world. This can convey a kind of friendly openness, or playful warmth. These hands also look a lot like the hands on the πŸ€— (hugging face) emoji, so πŸ‘ are often used to signify a hug.

  2. Send a πŸ‘ emoji to spread the love or have fun. If you want to express some playful, open-minded kindness, throw a πŸ‘ emoji into your text.

    • “Ready to turn up this weekend? I can’t wait to get down πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘. ”
  3. A πŸ‘ emoji can also represent jazz hands or “please stop.” These two open palms can also be used in two sort of opposite ways. In one sense, the two palms can be jazz hands, which you can use to express excitement, sass, or chutzpah. On the other hand, you can also imagine someone holding both hands up as if to say, “Cut that out.”[6] You might say:
