Medium-dark skin tone Emoji
Objects
A detached, solid-colored square representing a medium-dark skin tone. It is a modifier character designed to be attached to other people or body part emojis to alter their appearance.
Usage Context
This modifier is used to ensure digital representation reflects diverse human complexions. When placed after an emoji like 👍 or 👋, it updates the base character to feature this specific skin tone. If your device doesn't support the modification, it may appear as a separate, floating colored square next to the original emoji.
History
Introduced in Unicode 8.0 in 2015, these modifiers were developed in collaboration with the Unicode Consortium to address widespread user demand for more inclusive human emojis. They are based on the Fitzpatrick scale, a standard dermatological tool used for classifying human skin types.
