Woman: curly hair Emoji

People

A portrait of a woman featuring thick, voluminous, curly hair. The character is designed to be gender-neutral in its base form but is specifically modified here to reflect a distinct, coiled hair texture.

Usage Context

Used to describe someone with curly hair or to identify oneself in digital conversations. It acts as a helpful identifier in descriptive messaging, often used alongside other hair-specific variants like 👨‍🦱 or 👩‍🦰 to specify physical appearance.

History

This emoji was added in 2018 as part of the Emoji 11.0 update. It was part of a major industry-wide push to increase representation by providing a broader range of hair colors and textures, moving away from the limited default options provided in early character sets.
