hi chain. At first, it may seem difficult to decipher clues made up entirely of emojis. But when I saw a wave of words near the bottom of the grid, I realized it was really just the case of decoding what every emoji represents.

Next, there was applause diagonally backwards in the upper half of the grid, followed by a shake in the upper left corner. I still couldn't figure out how to describe the 4th one, but the previous 2 answers were clearing the space for the point (the 6th emoji).

Now I wasn't working on these in order, I saw a fist in the lower left (Emoji #7) before realizing that what I didn't get before was a pinch to the bottom right. The prayer is just above it and it left just peace at the top right to complete the list.

All that remained was to figure out how the remaining characters were translated into spangrams. I CAN SEE THE ANSWER STARTED WITH "HANDS" AND AFTER A BIT OF TRIAL AND ERROR, I SPELLED OUT HANDGESTURES TO COMPLETE THE PUZZLE.
