person bowing

A gesture of the utmost respect or a very, very sincere apology. This emoji shows a person bowing deeply, a powerful act of deference. In Japan, this type of bow is known as *dogeza*, and it's used to express a profound apology for a serious mistake, to show deep gratitude, or to ask for a huge favor. It conveys a sense of humility and sincerity that goes far beyond a simple 'I'm sorry' or 'thank you.'

Use this emoji when you've messed up big time and need to show you're truly sorry. It's also perfect for expressing overwhelming gratitude to someone who has helped you immensely. On a lighter note, you can use it humorously to beg your friends for something you really, really want. It’s for when you need to show you *really* mean it.
