About
The Smiling Face with Open Hands emoji (🤗) is the digital equivalent of running toward someone with arms wide open for the warmest hug imaginable. It's what you send when words feel inadequate and you genuinely want to wrap someone in comfort—whether they just aced a presentation, survived a breakup, or simply exist and you appreciate them. This little yellow beacon of emotional support has become the go-to for expressing that specific brand of wholesome affection that makes the internet feel a little less cold.

This emoji was part of the original Unicode 6.1 release in 2012, making it one of the earlier attempts to capture physical gestures in digital form—a precursor to our now-extensive collection of hand and body language emojis.
