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

People

Usage Context

Used to celebrate romantic partnerships, anniversaries, or to send a digital smooch. It is frequently sent alongside messages of endearment or as a response to news about a relationship. It serves as a more inclusive alternative to generic couple emojis like 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨 or 👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨.

History

This emoji was made possible by the introduction of Zero Width Joiner (ZWJ) sequences in Unicode 8.0 in 2015, which allowed platforms to combine individual person emojis with hearts and gender modifiers to represent diverse modern relationships.
