U+1F91D · emoji since 2016
The handshake seals the deal. It means agreement, partnership, respect, and we're in this together, whether you're closing business or just agreeing that pineapple belongs on pizza.
It's also the emoji of finding common ground, often used in memes to join two unlikely groups by the one thing they share. Firm grip, no notes.
In texting, 🤝 does not carry a widely used hidden or slang meaning, so you can usually take it at face value. People send it just as it looks, to add a little visual touch or set the mood of a message. Only a handful of emoji have a separate texting code, and 🤝 is not really one of them.
Its official Unicode name is the Handshake emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the handshake emoji or describe what it shows. Copy and paste it from the button at the top of this page.
The 🤝 leads off a short phrase, and the rest of the words are written in cipher, every letter disguised as another emoji. Tap decipher to reveal the whole line.
