Kiss: man, man: light skin tone, medium skin tone Emoji

People

A composite emoji displaying two men kissing, with a small red heart hovering between them. This specific variation depicts one man with a light skin tone and the other with a medium skin tone, joined by a zero-width joiner to appear as a single unit.

Usage Context

Used to express affection, romantic relationships, or celebratory milestones like anniversaries. It is frequently sent in messages to partners or to highlight same-sex relationships. Users often pair this with the 💑 or 💕 emojis to add emphasis to a sentimental message.

History

This sequence was made possible through the implementation of ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequences in Unicode 9.0 (2016), which allowed for the layering of existing emojis to create diverse family and couple representations that weren't previously supported by single code points.
