🙌 Raising Hands

Raising Hands emoji is the picture of either two hands (looking similar to two ✋ Raised Hand emoji) or a person with the hands risen above the head. This body position in real life is typically associated with celebration and enjoying success — so, this emoji is often used in exactly these meanings. For example, it may symbolize the joy the user feels because his favorite 🏈 Football team won a match or because he finished some very difficult and exhausting project. The other meanings are also possible — especially when it is complemented with other emojis. It is important to keep in mind, however, that this emoji also has a totally separate meaning than those above which is in quite popular use. This alternate meaning is that the two hands are framing (can be literally or figuratively) a photograph or motion picture shot in the same manner as the stereotypical hollywood director sometimes shown making a similar gesture in movies or cartoons. Said imply, used in this way this emoji is adding a “frame” to the thing it’s refering to in order to suggest that is it photogenic, beautiful, stunning, clever, a great photograph, suggestive of an iconic 📽 Movie theme, or any such elaboration of this idea.
