About Praying Faces
Praying faces put the hands together in front of the face, usually with 人 or † shapes — (－人－), 人( ˘ω˘ ), (＾人＾). The character 人 is the Japanese kanji for person, used here because its shape resembles two hands pressed together.
Hoping more than praying
The dominant use is not religious. It is hoping — for a result, for someone to reply, for a plan to work out. It is also the standard way to make a request sound like a favour rather than a demand, which is genuinely useful in a work chat.
Thanks and apology too
In Japanese messaging the same gesture covers gratitude and apology as well as request, and that range carried over into how these faces are used in English chat. One face doing four jobs is efficient, but it does mean context has to do some work.
