U+1F64F · Emoji 0.6 · People & Body
Overview
Interpreted variously as prayer, gratitude, a plea, or the namaste gesture, Folded Hands shows two palms pressed together with the fingers pointing upward. It sits in the hands subcategory of People & Body, is encoded at U+1F64F, and supports the five skin-tone modifiers. Added in Unicode 6.0 and Emoji 0.6 in 2015, the emoji carries a broad, culturally specific range of meanings: devotion or thanks in some contexts, a request or a high five in others. That ambiguity is part of its versatility, letting a single glyph serve spiritual, social, and celebratory functions. Its keyword set, spanning please, blessed, bow, and thanks, reflects that spread of intent.
