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

People

A composite emoji displaying two individuals of varying skin tones leaning in to share a kiss, with a small red heart hovering between them. This version specifically pairs a person with medium-light skin and a person with medium-dark skin.

Usage Context

Used to express romantic affection, flirtation, or the celebration of a relationship. It is the go-to choice for sending a digital 'mwah' or confirming a date. People often use this alongside other relationship-focused icons like ❤️ or 💕 to emphasize their feelings for a partner.

History

This emoji is a ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequence, which works by stitching together separate person emojis and a kiss mark. These combinations were introduced in Unicode 10.0 in 2017 to provide more diverse representations of human relationships than the traditional, gender-specific kiss emojis found in early mobile messaging.
