Wondering what the Clapping Hands emoji means on Snapchat, X or in a text message?

It can also be used to convey excitement, encouragement, or to express enthusiasm towards a particular person, event, or accomplishment.
What does 👏 mean from a girl or a boy?
Unicode defines what 👏 depicts, but not what someone means by sending it. For clapping hands the reading depends almost entirely on the conversation around it — the same emoji lands differently in a group chat and in a one-on-one thread.
