Couple with heart: medium-dark skin tone Emoji

Usage Context

History

While the basic couple icon has been part of early emoji sets since the late 90s, the ability to modify skin tones arrived with Unicode 8.0 in 2015. This update was a major push for inclusivity, allowing users to select skin tone modifiers to better reflect their actual relationships on digital platforms.
