hiii Twitch / Discord emote

Meaning

The "hiii" emote features a close-up of a face with a yellow pixelated waving hand. This emote is primarily used as a friendly greeting in Twitch chat. The waving hand and facial expression combine to create a playful, enthusiastic way of saying hello to streamers or other chatters. The emote conveys a sense of friendliness and excitement, making it perfect for welcoming new viewers or greeting returning community members.

Origin

The "hiii" emote is available on 7TV, a third-party emote platform that extends Twitch's native emote capabilities. While there are several variants of this emote on 7TV (with ID references like 65413498dc0468e8c1fbcdc6), they all share the common theme of a close-up face with a yellow waving hand. The emote follows the tradition of digital waving hand imagery that dates back to Unicode 6.0 in 2010, when the waving hand emoji was first standardized.

The pixelated style of the hand in this particular version gives it a distinctive look that fits with internet culture and the aesthetic of many custom Twitch emotes. The emote has gained popularity in recent years as 7TV has become more widely adopted by streamers looking to expand their emote libraries beyond what Twitch natively offers.

When to use

The "hiii" emote is typically used in the following contexts:

  • When viewers first enter a stream and want to greet the streamer or other chat members
  • At the beginning of a stream when the streamer goes live and viewers want to say hello
  • When recognizing or welcoming a new or returning chatter to the community
  • During raid events when viewers from one channel enter another channel and want to greet the new community
  • As a general friendly acknowledgment of someone's presence in chat

The emote's enthusiastic nature makes it particularly popular in positive, community-focused streams where viewers actively engage with each other.
