History

This emoji is a ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequence, which combines separate man and heart emojis into a single rendered character. While the individual components date back to early Unicode releases, the ability to modify skin tones for complex family and couple sequences was introduced in Unicode 8.0 in 2015 to provide more inclusive representation.
