What does Handshake ๐ค mean?
Agreement, a deal being made, or a partnership โ often used in professional or transactional contexts.
Like the rest of the People & Body category, it renders slightly differently across Apple, Google, and Samsung keyboards, though the core meaning stays consistent. Because tone doesn't always come through in text, it's often paired with a short phrase when the context isn't obvious. It's also available in 25 skin tone variants, so you can pick the one that best matches who or what you're describing.
๐ก Interesting fact: As of Unicode 14.0, this emoji can be customized with two independent skin tones โ one for each hand.
