Women holding hands: dark skin tone, medium skin tone Emoji

People

An illustration of two women standing side-by-side, holding hands, featuring one figure with a dark skin tone and one with a medium skin tone. They are connected by a handshake icon to represent their unity.

Usage Context

Used to denote friendship, sisterhood, or a romantic partnership between women. It serves as a visual shorthand for being inseparable, whether referring to a 👩‍❤️‍👩 couple or a close-knit group of friends. People often use this to acknowledge the diverse identities within their personal social circles.

History

This sequence was added to the Unicode standard in 2019 to improve representation through ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequences. By combining gender and skin tone modifiers, it allows users to more accurately reflect the physical diversity of their actual relationships, moving past the rigid, generic defaults found in early messaging platforms.
