While this emoji strongly carries the positive meaning of a "fist bump," it can sometimes be interpreted as an aggressive "punch." For this reason, it's primarily used among close friends to show agreement or encouragement.

In the West, it's also called a "bro fist" and began as a symbol of camaraderie and bonding among men. Today, however, it's a beloved gesture used worldwide to show agreement, congratulations, or teamwork, regardless of gender.
