Why is it that when I type “thanks” the phone suggests the “praying hands” emoji 🙏 instead of the bowing emoji 🙇♀️
Living in the United States, where my phones software was written, I have literally never encountered a human being who did the praying hands gesture when they said thank you. I don’t think I’ve even seen it on TV or movies. However, I have seen Japanese people bow.
A) why?
B) is there a culture that actually does 🙏 when they say thank you, and if so, what is it?
@masukomi B) - the wai (a kind of praying gesture) is used in Thailand for multiple purposes, one of them is saying thank you (but still accompanied by the words ). The usage of that emoji has me baffled, too
