🤗 – Hugging Face Emoji
In musical theater and dance, jazz hands are a kind of song-ending flourish of the hands, shaken with palms out and fingers outstretched. Because some think the hands of the hugging face emoji resemble that dance move, they use the emoji to express excitement, such as upon a big reveal or ta-da moment.

The broad smile and open arms of the hugging face emoji also lend it to expressions of love, joy, gratitude, appreciation, or feeling blessed.

Others see a kind of nonchalant dismissal in the emoji’s gesture, a sort of friendly-faced don’t-let-the-door-hit-you-on-the-way-out. And so, the hugging face emoji can also signify a rebuff from someone who is not going to put up with your drama.
Don’t give me attitude for no reason unless you want it in return 🤗

True to its name, finally, the hugging face emoji does see some use in showing comfort and support, giving a digital hug.
I’m so sorry, Farrah. Losing a special loved one isn’t really something we get over. Some days the memories make us smile, other days it’s painful. I’m keeping you in my prayers & sending hugs your way! 🤗
