Handshake: dark skin tone Emoji

People

A dark-toned representation of two right hands grasping each other, signifying a firm agreement or a polite greeting between two people. The design features neutral wrist positioning, emphasizing the act of connection rather than specific gender or formal attire.

Usage Context

Used to confirm a deal, express congratulations, or signal a mutual understanding in professional and personal chats. It is often sent after a negotiation is finished or as a sign of solidarity, similar to how one might use 🤝 or the 🙏 emoji to show mutual respect.

History

Handshake emojis were added to the standard set to provide a visual shorthand for human cooperation. The ability to modify skin tones was introduced in Unicode 8.0 in 2015, following a massive push for more inclusive representation in digital communication across global platforms.
