The 🙏 Folded Hands emoji belongs to the People & Body category, specifically in the Hands with Props subcategory.

In Japan, this gesture represents various polite expressions: thanking someone, apologizing, requesting a favor, or greeting. It is less specifically religious than Western prayer associations. The emoji captures this versatile respectful gesture common in Japanese culture.

Despite the high-five debate, this emoji officially represents prayer, thanks, or pleading (Japanese dogeza bow). Apple originally named it "Person With Folded Hands." The two hands belong to one person, not two people high-fiving, as shown by the matching skin tone and sleeve.
