🤝 Handshake
Two hands performing a handshake gesture, indicating a cordial greeting between friends or associates. As of late 2021's Emoji 14.0 recommendations, this emoji design has multiple skin tone modifier options. Certain platforms did, however, support a small number of single skin tone options for the handshake emoji prior to 2021 (e.g. both Google and Samsung in 2017). View all handshake emojis.
