Couple with heart: woman, man: dark skin tone, light skin tone Emoji

People

Usage Context

History

Following years of advocacy for better representation, the Unicode Consortium introduced diverse skin tone modifiers in 2015. This specific combination arrived later as part of a push to support complex ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequences, allowing users to accurately reflect diverse real-world relationships that were previously limited to generic yellow characters.
