Objects

A pair of thick, knitted or fabric gloves, typically rendered in a bright color like blue or orange. They are designed to cover the fingers and palms completely for insulation.

Usage Context

History

Gloves were added to the Unicode standard in 2016 as part of Emoji 3.0. Their inclusion responded to the rising demand for more weather-specific clothing items to better reflect seasonal changes and workplace safety gear in digital communication.
