יד מורמת אמוג'י

In texting, the raised hand emoji ✋ can have a few different meanings depending on context. From a romantic partner, it's often a playful way to say "stop" or "hold on" - a flirty way to pause the conversation. Between friends, it's a casual "hi" or "what's up" gesture. But from a stranger, it can come across as a bit abrupt or even confrontational, like you're telling them to literally stop what they're doing. The raised hand emoji is best used sparingly and with some self-awareness of how it may be perceived.
