A person bowing deeply from the waist, used to express deep apology, gratitude, or respect — a gesture rooted in East Asian etiquette (particularly Japanese ojigi) rather than a Western handshake or nod. Online it's used for over-the-top 'I'm so sorry' or 'thank you so much' moments. Trivia: the depth and formality of a bow carries real cultural weight in Japan (a slight nod vs. a full 90-degree bow mean very different things), and this emoji's design — a near-90-degree bow — deliberately signals the most formal, humble version of the gesture.
