History & usage: The character PERSON WITH FOLDED HANDS depicts a gesture of thanks, respect, and calm intent. In chat or email, it can express gratitude after help or a kind gesture. It also fits prayers or hopes in conversations that seek peace or closure. In formal messages, it can convey politeness, apology, or a respectful closing without words. Use it to soften tone, acknowledge support, or show mutual care in everyday communication. When designing interfaces, place it where intent is clear and not easily misunderstood, and pair it with plain text if needed. Remember that appearance can vary across platforms and fonts, so color and detail may look different. For accessibility, provide surrounding text that conveys the intended meaning and use simple wording for screen reader users.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F64F in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
