Horse racing: dark skin tone Emoji

People

A dark-skinned jockey wearing a helmet and racing silks, hunched forward on a galloping horse. This emoji captures the high-speed intensity of competitive equestrian sports.

Usage Context

History

The horse racing emoji was part of the initial Unicode 6.0 rollout in 2010. The modifier for dark skin tones was introduced in 2015 as part of the Unicode 8.0 update, which aimed to increase human representation by applying the Fitzpatrick scale to existing character figures.
