pinching hand

This emoji means "a very small amount." It's used to show that a quantity is small, like adding a pinch of salt.

You can use it when you're a little short on money or need just a moment of time. It fits well in situations like, "almost there, just a little more!"

It's effective for expressing not only physical quantities but also abstract concepts like "narrowly" or "almost." Adding it to a sentence like, "I barely passed the exam," really enhances the feeling.

This emoji looks similar to 🤌, but the difference is that it mainly focuses on "amount" or "size." Its usage is expanding, especially in online shopping reviews like "the size is 🤏 smaller than I thought," or to mean "so small and precious" when seeing a cute baby or animal.
