Person Bowing Emoji 🙇

What 🙇 means

A gender-neutral portrayal of a person with short, side-parted hair, bowing with the face held up, and the arms crossing in front of the head. The triangular marks enveloping the head indicate a sense of gratitude.

The 🙇 Person Bowing emoji refers to the Japanese tradition of 'Dogeza', a cultural ethic that either suggests an apology or a response to a requested favor. This emoji is available in the designated skin tones on almost all platforms.

How and when to use it

If you asked someone for favour over text, and they agreed to grant you that boon, then you can use 🙇 as a way of responding with gratitude.
🙇 can also signify devotion, prayer, and meditation. So, you can use this emoji in such contexts.
You can also bring in the 🙇 emoji to show praise for someone or something, like a big bow.
Going by the Japanese tradition, you can use 🙇 to show that you're sorry or rather asking for an apology.
If you're surrendering yourself to something or someone, like "I'm all yours" (not in a romantic sense - more like, "Stop nagging, you got me 🙇" - to a best friend or something) types, you can use 🙇 to denote that.
