Student: dark skin tone Emoji

People

A person with dark skin wearing a dark-colored mortarboard cap, which is the traditional headwear for graduation ceremonies. The design shows the character from the shoulders up, highlighting the square cap typically worn by degree recipients.

Usage Context

Used to celebrate academic milestones, sharing news about finishing a degree, or identifying as someone currently enrolled in school. It is frequently sent alongside celebratory emojis like 🎓 or 🎉 when someone announces their graduation or a new academic achievement.

History

This emoji combines the base student character with the Fitzpatrick scale modifier, which was added to the Unicode standard in 2015 to allow for diverse skin tone representation. The graduation cap itself has been a staple of academic iconography since medieval universities first adopted the gown and cap to signify professional status.
