Definitions
A yellow smiling face with two open hands raised, as if offering a hug. Means warm affection, comfort, "sending hugs", or virtual support during a hard moment.

In 2026 it's also been ironically reclaimed as the "stop being so positive" sarcastic-hug emoji on Twitter, but the sincere read still dominates in texting.
