<p>A yellow face with its right hand saluting. Used as a sign of respect.</p>

<p>The expression of the face of this emoji can vary across platforms, with some designs featuring a <a href="/neutral-face">neutral</a> face while others are shown smiling to various degrees.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Apple and Huewai&#39;s designs notably only display half a face, likely to make the saluting hand more prominent when this emoji is viewed in smaller sizes.</p>

<div id="professor_prebid-root">This emoji went viral across Twitter in late 2022 following the&nbsp;news that the platform would be dramatically reducing its staff numbers as part of a company-wide restructuring following its acquisition by Elon Musk. <a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/10-years-of-viral-emoji-moments/">Learn more here.</a></div>

<div id="professor_prebid-root">&nbsp;</div>

Saluting Face

14.0

<p>A yellow face with open eyes, a thin closed-mouth smile, and a single tear falling from one of its eyes. Can be used to express a wide range of emotions and expressions&nbsp;including gratitude, tender happiness, an attempt to look happy when actually sad, or&nbsp;smiling through pain. Can also be a response to something that is bittersweet.</p>

<p>This emoji and <a href="/slightly-smiling-face/">🙂 Slightly Smiling Face</a> have a similar smile, and <a href="/crying-face/">😢 Crying Face</a> and <a href="/crying-cat/">😿 Crying Cat</a> have a similar lone tear. Not to be confused with&nbsp;<a href="/face-with-tears-of-joy/">😂 Face with Tears of Joy</a>, which has a wide toothy grin&nbsp;and tears coming from both eyes.</p>

<div id="professor_prebid-root">&nbsp;</div>

Smiling Face with Tear

<p>A yellow face with furrowed eyebrows, a small frown, and large, &ldquo;puppy dog&rdquo; eyes, as if begging, pleading, or yearning (possibly even in a&nbsp;<a href="/nsfw">NSFW</a> manner, depending on the context). May also represent adoration or feeling touched&nbsp;by a loving gesture.</p>

<p>Huawei&#39;s design for this emoji includes a pair of&nbsp;<a href="/folded-hands">🙏 Folded Hands</a>.</p>

<p>At its peak the Pleading Face was&nbsp;<a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/a-new-king-pleading-face/">the&nbsp;third most popular emoji used on Twitter</a>, and was the most commonly found emoji <a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/what-every-heart-emoji-really-means/">in tweets that include hearts</a>. Used in sequence with pointing hands to indicate a bashful or shy pose (🥺👉👈)&nbsp;<a href="/tiktok/">particularly on TikTok</a>.</p>

Face with Pleading Eyes

<p>A yellow face with tears welling up at the bottom of its two large eyes.</p>

<p>May be used to express a range of emotions including sadness, anger, embarrassment, admiration, and gratitude.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="/smiling-face-with-tear/">🥲 Smiling Face with Tear</a> and <a href="/pleading-face/">🥺 Pleading Face</a> can be used in some similar&nbsp;contexts.</p>

<div id="professor_prebid-root">Unlike other vendors, Huawei&#39;s design shows this emoji holding its hands expectantly against its cheeks.&nbsp;</div>

<div id="professor_prebid-root">&nbsp;</div>

Face Holding Back Tears

<p>A yellow face with an open mouth wailing and streams of heavy tears flowing from closed eyes. May convey inconsolable grief&nbsp;but also other intense feelings, such as uncontrollable laughter, pride or overwhelming joy.</p>

<p>In March 2021,&nbsp;😭&nbsp;Loudly Crying Face became&nbsp;<a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/loudly-crying-becomes-top-tier-emoji/">the most popular emoji on Twitter</a>. It held this position until January 2022, when&nbsp;<a href="/face-with-tears-of-joy/">😂 Face with Tears of Joy</a> <a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/tears-of-joy-just-about-returns-as-twitters-top-emoji/">returned as the top emoji on the platform</a>.</p>

Loudly Crying Face

<p>A hand waving most commonly used to say &ldquo;hello&rdquo; or &ldquo;goodbye&rdquo;.</p>

<p>This emoji can be used to convey a sense of <a href="https://youtu.be/ukJmB4rLNKA?t=2m">not being friends any more</a>&nbsp;when used on WeChat in China.</p>

Waving Hand Sign

<p>A fist raised in the air that may be used as a celebratory gesture: the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fist_pump">fist pump</a>.&nbsp;Can also be used to represent <a href="/keycap-digit-zero/" title="0⃣ Keycap 0">zero</a> items, due to a lack of any fingers being held up.</p>

<p>Sometimes used as a symbol of&nbsp;<a href="http://blog.emojipedia.org/the-resistance-will-be-emojified/">resistance</a>&nbsp;or defiance. Variations with darker skin tone are commonly used <a href="/raised-fist-dark-skin-tone/">to represent the #BlackLivesMatter movement</a>.</p>

Raised Fist

<p>Two hands placed firmly together, meaning <i>please</i>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<em>thank you</em>&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 <em>namaste</em> or Buddhist <em>a&ntilde;jali mudra</em>.</p>

<p>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>.</p>

<p>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>.</p>
