The raised palm emoji looks like the front side of a hand raised towards the other person. The first association is stop, the second is give me five.
If we compare this icon with others, then the closest values are the open palm and the raised hand. The meaning is especially similar in the latter case, but it should be understood that the raised right and left hand may have different shades. The right one more often means greeting, attracting attention, and the left one - high five, as well as the meaning of "stop."
