People holding hands: dark skin tone, dark skin tone Emoji
People
Two individuals shown from the chest up, clasping hands with their arms linked. Both figures are rendered with a deep, dark skin tone to accurately represent diverse human appearances.
Usage Context
This emoji is frequently used to show solidarity, partnership, or friendship between two people. It is a popular choice for confirming a relationship status, celebrating a best friend, or showing support for equality. It is often used alongside 🤝 to emphasize a deal or a deep bond.
History
These skin tone variations were added to Unicode in 2019 to improve representation after years of requests for more inclusive options. By using ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequences, the system allows the combination of two individual people emojis with a handshake icon to create a single, unified graphic.
