Raising A Hand

Meaning and Description

Raising a hand means raising one hand upright, with the palm of the hand being on the same level as the arm. This emoji can mean raising hands, pausing, stopping, greeting, and high fives when happy. It should be noted that the five fingers designed by Apple's system are not close together, but in an open state.
