One would think that in a country with a large number of religious people, the “praying hands” emoji would be widely used. But many Brazilians use the image the wrong way: as if two hands (of different people) meet, in a greeting like “touch here” (or “the big five”, as the Americans call it).
The confusion will end now. A new set of 31 emoji has been announced by the Unicode Consortium – the organization that standardizes emoji symbols around the world. And between them, now yes, there will be a “play here”.
The new numbers will be released for iOS and Android in September with the Unicode 15.0 update.
New emojis are included in Emoji Pack 15.0, including “shaky face” and “five high” gestures
