Person wearing turban: dark skin tone Emoji
People
A dark-skinned person wearing a traditional turban wrapped around their head. This emoji displays the standard facial features used for gender-neutral human representations across mobile platforms.
Usage Context
Used to represent cultural or religious identity, particularly for individuals who wear turbans as part of their heritage. It is often used in conversations about faith, traditional clothing, or travel. It functions as a partner to other identity-based emojis like person with headscarf or man in tuxedo.
History
While the base turban emoji was added to Unicode 6.0 in 2010, the ability to apply skin tone modifiers was introduced later in 2015. This update allowed for more inclusive representation, drawing on the Fitzpatrick scale to provide a wider range of human diversity in digital messaging.
