What 🙅 person gesturing NO 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.
