🙏 shows two hands pressed together, palms flat. Depending on who you ask it's praying, saying please, or saying thank you, which is what the Japanese gesture it was drawn from originally meant.
Most people use it for thanks ('appreciate you 🙏'), for begging a small favor, or for hope and prayer. A popular misreading says it's a high five, but both palms belong to the same person. It also works as a respectful namaste.
