Cook: dark skin tone Emoji

People

A person wearing a traditional white chef's toque and a matching uniform, shown with a dark skin tone. The design focuses on the professional identity of a culinary expert preparing a meal.

Usage Context

Used to represent someone cooking, working in a restaurant, or sharing a passion for food. It is frequently sent when talking about recipes, dining out, or showing off a home-cooked dinner. It is often grouped with food-related icons like 🍳 or 👩‍🍳 to convey a complete kitchen scene.

History

The base character originated from the expansion of human-represented emojis, while the skin tone modifiers were added in Unicode 8.0 in 2015 to bring better representation to the digital population. This specific variation combines the cook character with the Fitzpatrick scale modifier to reflect the diversity of real-world kitchen staff.
