The clapping hands emoji: When used repetitively in a row, it signifies applause, but as any social media user by now understands, that is not the emoji's primary placement in the world of Twitter.

It’s almost an extension of the expressive capabilities in Google Messages. Try using a hand-clap emoji to applaud a job well done or the laughing emoji after telling your best joke.
