Detailed Introduction
The left hand emoji (🫲) depicts an open left hand with the palm facing forward. It commonly represents gestures of offering, receiving, or indicating direction. Often paired with the right hand emoji (🫱) to symbolize giving and taking, it conveys openness, receptiveness, or a friendly, approachable demeanor.
