A yellow face with smiling eyes, closed smile, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_(religious_iconography)">halo</a>, usually blue, overhead. Often represents angels, <a href="/folded-hands/">prayers</a>, and blessings. May also convey angelic behavior, e.g., doing good deeds. See also <a href="/baby-angel/">👼&nbsp;Baby Angel</a>.

Several platforms, including Apple, feature&nbsp;an&nbsp;expression similar to their <a href="/smiling-face-with-smiling-eyes/">😊&nbsp;Smiling Face With Smiling Eyes.</a>

Smiling Face with Halo

Two hands placed firmly together, meaning please&nbsp;or&nbsp;thank you&nbsp;in Japanese culture.&nbsp;A common alternative use&nbsp;for this emoji is for prayer, using the same gesture as&nbsp;praying hands. It can also represent&nbsp;a respectful greeting or show of adoration many in Southeast Asian religions and cultures, such as the Hindu namaste or Buddhist a&ntilde;jali mudra.

Rarely used as&nbsp;a&nbsp;high-five, despite often being suggested as one by emoji keyboard search features. <a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/emojiology-folded-hands/">More about this emoji and its possible meanings</a>.

A previous&nbsp;version of this&nbsp;emoji&nbsp;displayed a <a href="/apple/ios-6.0/folded-hands/" title="🙏 Person With Folded Hands on Apple iOS 6.0">yellow burst of light behind the two hands</a>&nbsp;on iOS. Android once&nbsp;showed a blob-character with <a href="/google/android-5.0/folded-hands/" title="🙏 Person With Folded Hands on Google Android 5.0">closed eyes and folded hands</a>.

Person with Folded Hands

A face, usually purple, with devil horns, a wide grin, and eyes and eyebrows scrunched downward in the same manner as <a href="/angry-face/">😠&nbsp;Angry Face</a> on most platforms. Google&rsquo;s design is red and Facebook&rsquo;s has black horns and green eyes.

Commonly used to convey mischief, naughtiness, and excitement or excellence (slang,&nbsp;bad&nbsp;or&nbsp;wicked). May also represent devils or devilish behavior, especially around <a href="/halloween/">Halloween</a>. More playful and suggestive than its impish counterpart, <a href="/angry-face-with-horns/">👿&nbsp;Angry Face With Horns</a>.

<a href="/google/android-7.0/smiling-face-with-horns/">Google</a> and <a href="/samsung/touchwiz-7.1/smiling-face-with-horns/">Samsung</a> previously depicted orangish-red characters, with Google once featuring <a href="/google/android-4.4/smiling-face-with-horns/">a frown</a> and Samsung <a href="/samsung/experience-9.0/smiling-face-with-horns/">a sharp snaggletooth</a>.

Smiling Face with Horns

A yellow face with a slight&nbsp;smile or open mouth&nbsp;shown winking, usually its left eye. May signal&nbsp;a joke, flirtation, hidden meaning, or general positivity. Tone varies, including playful, affectionate, suggestive, or ironic.

Not to be confused with the more mischievous or&nbsp;sexual&nbsp;<a href="/smirking-face/">😏 Smirking Face</a>.&nbsp;An emoji form of the ;) emoticon.

Prayer Beads

A single white wing with feathers.&nbsp;

Can be used to talk about flying, both literally and metaphorical. May be used in phrases such as when pigs fly&nbsp;or time flies. May also be used to talk about angels or to say that someone or something is angelic.

Wing

A baby with a halo and wings. Can represent a sweet baby, a biblical cherub, a mythological cupid, a decorative putto, or an angel as a supernatural being in general. This emoji can&nbsp;be used earnestly or&nbsp;in a tongue-in-cheek way to talk about goodness or innocence.

It is often used to express affection for people, especially children at birth or, more sadly, after death. This emoji pops up in <a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/emojiology-baby-angel/">a large variety&nbsp;of contexts</a> ranging from innocence, love, Valentine&#39;s Day, positive feelings like gratitude, and the Christian faith, especially during Christmas.
