Person getting massage Emoji

People

A person with their eyes closed, appearing relaxed, while hands reach in to massage their temples or scalp. The expression is one of contentment and relief from stress.

Usage Context

Used to describe spa visits, self-care routines, or the act of winding down after a long day. It is often sent when someone is feeling frazzled and dreaming of a break, frequently appearing alongside 🧖 or 🛀 to signal a desire for pampering.

History

Introduced in Unicode 6.0 in 2010 as part of the initial wave of people-focused emojis, this character was modeled after the therapeutic massage services that became a staple of service-oriented emoji sets in Japanese mobile messaging apps to help users express their physical well-being.
