What the ๐๐ผ emoji means
An open hand waving. Hello and goodbye โ the same gesture does both.
Careful in group chats: waving at someone as they leave a team or a game reads as dismissal in some circles. In a greeting it is entirely warm.

Where the ๐๐ผ emoji is used
The ๐๐ผ smiley copies in one tap and pastes into a chat as text, not as a picture: it is a Unicode symbol, so it works the same in WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and in a post caption. Every platform draws emoji its own way โ below you can see how waving hand: medium-light skin tone is drawn in the open Noto, OpenMoji and Twemoji sets.
