U+1F917 · Emoji 1.0 · Smileys & Emotion
Overview
Sometimes called the hugging face, Smiling Face with Open Hands presents a smiling face with two open hands raised as if to embrace, encoded at U+1F917. It entered the standard with Unicode 8.0 and Emoji 1.0 in 2015 and sits in the face-hand subcategory of Smileys & Emotion. The outstretched hands convey warmth, openness, and a wish to hug or welcome, though the same gesture is occasionally read as jazz hands or emphasis. That dual reading gives it a friendly but flexible tone, suited to comfort, gratitude, or an enthusiastic greeting. As a single-codepoint emoji it renders without a joiner or skin-tone modifier.
