What π«±πΎβπ«²π» means
The handshake emoji has a calm, positive and slightly formal tone. It says we agree, deal done, or respect between you and me. It is stronger than π, which is a simple okay, because it suggests both sides are on the same page. Friends use it to close plans or bets, rivals use it to show good sportsmanship, and work chats use it for partnerships. It also echoes the popular epic handshake meme, where two groups agree on one thing. In cricket and football chats it often shows respect between teams or fans after a match.
