What does the hands up emoji mean?
The 🙌 emoji represents celebration and positive vibes.
The 🙌 emoji depicts someone raising their hands high over their head. This gesture is common when you see someone rooting the home team on, or praising someone. In fact, this emoji originally meant “give me ten!” as in two high-fives. You might see it used like this:
“I just heard you got the gig!! Congrats! I’m so excited for you 🙌.”
“You crushed that presentation 🙌!”
“I know you start freshman year this week. Are you amped? I can’t wait to see what you do next 🙌!!!”

The meaning of the hands up emoji depends on the context and the position of the palms. If the palms are facing each other, the emoji 🙌 means celebration, excitement, or pride. If the palms are facing the sender, the emoji 🙋 means raising a hand to ask a question or make a point. If the palms are facing the receiver, the emoji 🙏 means plea for help, assistance, or gratitude.

It mentions praise in the definition.

For some of us it's a sign of praise, like people raising their hands in prayer and worship! Pray
