People

Usage Context

Used to express romantic feelings, affection, or a playful 'mwah' in text messages. It is frequently sent between partners to celebrate dates, anniversaries, or simply to sign off on a message with a virtual kiss, often paired with ❤️ or 😘.

This technology was adopted by the Unicode Consortium to allow for diverse relationship representation without needing a unique code point for every possible skin tone combination.
