A person bows deeply, and although no gender is specified, in most cases it still appears as a male. This body posture is recognized as a religious symbol of prayer. In addition, this physical gesture (especially in Japanese culture) is associated with begging for something, such as forgiveness or a big favor, and extreme admiration or respect for someone. In addition, it may also be a symbol of extreme gratitude.
Person Bowing was approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 under the name “Person Bowing Deeply” and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.
