• On one of the smileys in the picture, the pink girl raises her hand. You might think it is a happy person who raises a hand. However, it can just as well mean that the person finally wants to take his turn and draw attention to himself.
• When the girl holds her hands on the floor, it is meant to symbolize respect. The person bows low in front of you and pays respect for a great achievement.
• The same emojis are of course also available in a male version. A boy in a blue T-shirt shows the gestures as well.
