Usage Context

History

This sequence was created using ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) technology, which allows platform developers to combine individual character codes into a single displayed image. While the base man emoji has existed since the early days of Unicode, the ability to display diverse, gender-specific couples was standardized in Unicode 9.0 in 2016 to better represent the breadth of human relationships.
