Person: beard: dark skin tone Emoji

People

A head-and-shoulders portrait of a person with a thick, full beard and a dark skin tone. The character features a neutral expression, representing facial hair in a natural, everyday style.

Usage Context

Used to describe someone who has grown out their facial hair or to identify a specific type of look. It is often used in conversations about grooming, hipster culture, or simply to distinguish someone in a group, frequently paired with the 🧔 or 🧔‍♂️ emojis to discuss specific appearances.

History

The base beard emoji was added to the Unicode standard in 2017 to provide more inclusive options for masculine-presenting facial features. The dark skin tone variant was implemented shortly after via the ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequence system, which allows users to apply specific Fitzpatrick skin tone modifiers to human characters.
