An Emote is an action players can perform whilst in-game. There are currently 8 universal emotes and 3 purchasable emotes (R15 & Rthro only). Emotes were introduced on October 2, 2013.[1] The player must type in /e [emote] into the chat for the character to do a universal emote, or use the emote menu or /e to do a purchasable emote. All emotes are silent. The emotes only make your character move.
A full list of emotes can be found here.

Emote Menu
The emote menu on the avatar page.
An emote menu was added into the Roblox launcher on June 24, 2019, as well as a section for emotes to be purchased on the catalog. The first emotes to be added were Tilt, Stadium, and Salute, all of which can only be used with R15 avatars. The emotes can be accessed in-game by clicking the silhouette of a white Roblox avatar on the top of the menu or pressing B. It was removed after an hour of being live due to complaints from developers, including "the icon didn't fit well with the rest" and "this update was too sudden and uncalled for".[2] A few of the complaints were referencing the B key being overwritten without a warning.
On July 1st, 2019, there was a post in a DevForum thread that had an official follow up from Roblox. You can read it here.
