🙇Person Bowing Emoji
Tagged apology, ask and beg, 🙇 person bowing sits in Unicode's Gestures group inside People & Body. It was introduced in Unicode 6.0 (2010) at U+1F647.
What 🙇 person bowing means
Whole-body reactions where a face is not enough. 🤷 and 🤦 carry the most weight - resignation and secondhand embarrassment - and both were encoded in 2016, late enough that they feel native to internet conversation. 💁, encoded as information desk person and now called person tipping hand, is used almost entirely for sass.
Unicode tags this one apology, ask and beg and files it under People & Body → Gestures.
