Handkerchiefs have had social, political, and scientific implications throughout history. They have been used as status symbols, for flirting through symbolic gestures, and to express emotions like cheering or crying. Politically, handkerchiefs have been used to signify surrender in wars or make political declarations. Scientifically, they have aided in discoveries like aromatherapy and electricity. Today tissues have replaced most uses of handkerchiefs.
