Kiss: person, person, dark skin tone, medium skin tone Emoji

People

A digital depiction of two people with different skin tones leaning in to kiss, with a small red heart floating between them. This version specifically features a person with a dark skin tone and a person with a medium skin tone.

Usage Context

Used to express affection, romantic interest, or to confirm a relationship status in text messages. It is frequently sent alongside ❤️ or 😘 to emphasize warmth or intimacy. People use this character to highlight diversity in relationships or to celebrate an anniversary or a date night.

History

While the basic kiss emoji was added to the Unicode standard in 2010, the ability to modify the skin tones of individual people within the combination became possible through ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequences in later updates. This allows users to represent their own relationships more accurately compared to the older, static yellow-toned characters.
