History

This emoji is a ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequence, which works by stitching together individual man, heart, and kiss emojis into a single character. While the original emoji set was limited, the Unicode Consortium expanded support for diverse skin tone combinations starting in 2015 to better represent the reality of global relationships.
