History

While the base emoji was added in Unicode 6.0 in 2010, the ability to modify skin tones arrived in Unicode 8.0 in 2015. This update was a major push by the Unicode Consortium to move away from the generic 'default' yellow skin tone and provide more inclusive representation for global users.
