Meaning of Waving hand

A waving hand can say hello at the start of a conversation or goodbye at the end. It may also politely attract attention in a group, but the character alone does not establish whether you are arriving or leaving.

πŸ‘‹waving hand

How is it used in conversation?

Use β€œHello, lovely to meet you all πŸ‘‹β€ for an introduction, or β€œSee you tomorrow πŸ‘‹β€ for a farewell. In a work discussion, include your name or the reason for writing so it is easy to respond.

The hand direction and motion lines vary across devices. Do not rely on the drawing’s direction to identify a person or point to a particular place on a page.

Examples you can copy

Hello, lovely to meet you all πŸ‘‹

See you tomorrow πŸ‘‹

Hello everyone, I have a question πŸ‘‹

Read the whole message: meaning depends on surrounding words, relationships, culture and the app being used.
