I wanted to say “thank you” to someone using an emoji, and realized there’s no clear single emoji for that. In fact no clear real world non-verbal way to say it either. How weird that we created nods and shrugs and namastes and many others, but none for this very common thing humans want to express.

@digital_carver I’ve seen people using 2 hands pressed together (like praying, basically) as a thank you gesture.

@trinsec I’ve used it myself, but it’s part of the general “Namaste” gesture that’s used for many other things too, right?

@digital_carver Yeah, it can be praying, or ‘please’ or even ‘thanks’. I guess it depends on context.
