🤝 emoji history
🤝 Handshake is a newer emoji: it was approved in Unicode 9.0 in 2016 and arrived on iPhone with iOS 10.2 in December 2016. For years 🤝 could not show two different skin tones. Mixed-skin-tone handshakes only arrived with Emoji 14.0 in 2021, so you can now set each hand separately.
What 🤝 means on TikTok and Instagram
On Instagram, 🤝 marks collaborations, brand deals and partnership announcements. On TikTok it powers the "A 🤝 B" meme, where two unlikely things are joined by something they share.
Common mistakes with 🤝
🤝 means agreement, so don't send it as a simple "thanks" to a friend. It can sound like you are closing a business deal instead of being grateful.
