The "(˘ʃƪ˘)" emote or "Praying #1" emote is a depiction of two hands placed together in a praying position, with the fingers pointing upwards and the thumbs touching. It is often used to express a sense of hope, gratitude, or pleading for something. The symbol has become popular in online communication, particularly on social media platforms, as a way to convey emotions or sentiments without using words.
