✋ Emoji Meaning
The raised hand emoji signifies a greeting or a request for attention.
With its palm facing forward, it’s often used to indicate that someone is saying hello or to express that you want to be heard.
You might send it when you’re welcoming someone or when you want to convey that you have something to say.
Compared to 🖐️hand with fingers splayed , this one feels a bit more formal, making it ideal for those moments of communication.
