Meaning of the saluting face Emoji

A yellow face with its right hand saluting. Used as a sign of respect. The expression of the face of this emoji can vary across platforms, with some designs featuring a neutral face while others are shown smiling to various degrees. Apple and Huawei's designs notably only display half a face, likely to make the saluting hand more prominent when this emoji is viewed in smaller sizes. Can be considered an emoji version of the o7 emoticon, where the "o" represents a head and the "7" depicts a raised arm in a salute. Variants of o7 remain popular within gaming communities and on platforms such as Twitch. This emoji went viral across Twitter in late 2022 following the news that the platform would be dramatically reducing its staff numbers as part of a company-wide restructuring following its acquisition by Elon Musk.
