Two people wrapped in a mutual embrace, the most literal hug emoji available. Unlike the hugging face which is one person offering a hug, this shows two people actually connected in the act. It represents deep comfort, reunion after separation, consoling someone through grief, or just the simple human need for physical contact that no amount of texting can fully replace.

Use to show comfort, friendship, reconciliation, or expressing the need for a hug.
Example Usage
