Kiss: man, man: dark skin tone, medium-light skin tone Emoji

People

A digital representation of two men sharing a kiss, with one man featuring a dark skin tone and the other featuring a medium-light skin tone. A small red heart floats between them to emphasize the affectionate nature of the gesture.

Usage Context

Used to express romantic feelings, celebrate anniversaries, or identify as a same-sex couple. It serves as an inclusive way to share affection in text messages and social media threads, often paired with emojis like ❤️ or 😘 to convey warmth and intimacy.

History

This emoji is a ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequence. It combines individual male and heart emojis into a single graphic. The rollout of diverse skin tone modifiers in Unicode 8.0 and the subsequent push for inclusive family and couple representations in later updates allowed for the vast array of combinations we see today.
