Woman Bowing Emoji 🙇‍♀️

What 🙇‍♀️ means

A woman bows in the Dogeza posture, cropped at the shoulders, her head down, her face forward and her arms stretched out in front of it. There are a couple of triangular marks on top of the head, indicating reverence.

The 🙇‍♀️ Woman Bowing emoji signifies gratitude and apology according to the Japanese tradition of Dogeza. But on a generally observed note, this emoji can suggest devotion, prayer, surrender, and sense praise and worship.

It is available in the designated skin tones on almost all platforms.

How and when to use it

If you liked something on social media so much, that you're mentally bowing down for it, you can use 🙇‍♀️ as a reaction to that particular post (it can be anything, like an inspirational message, a body-positive post, an empowerment post, just anything that strikes you).
Use 🙇‍♀️ as a way of saying thank you and showing that you're truly thankful for the fulfilled favor.
But before you receive a fulfilled favor, make sure you use 🙇‍♀️ while asking for it.
You can also use 🙇‍♀️ to show that you surrender to something or someone.
Since 🙇‍♀️ can signify devotion as well, use it in such contexts - like a band that you worship, or personal faith, a book series that you're crazy about, anything.
Some interpretations also bring out the 🙇‍♀️ emoji as a way of lying down for a massage.
