Factory worker: medium-dark skin tone Emoji

People

A person with medium-dark skin wearing a yellow protective hard hat and a high-visibility orange vest. The design features thick, dark outlines common to the ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequence, which combines the base person emoji with industrial safety gear.

Usage Context

Used to discuss manufacturing, labor, trades, or shift work. It is frequently sent by people working in production facilities or construction sites to indicate they are on the clock. It works well alongside tools like 🔧 or ⚙️ to signify a hands-on mechanical job.

History

This emoji was introduced as part of Unicode 10.0 in 2017. It reflects the broader push to include diverse skin tones and professional roles across digital platforms, expanding on the original, more generic worker emojis from earlier mobile messaging standards.
