Superhero: medium-dark skin tone Emoji
People
A figure wearing a mask and a cape, representing a heroic persona with a medium-dark skin tone. The design captures the classic look of comic book crime-fighters who use extraordinary abilities to save the day.
Usage Context
Used to celebrate someone’s impressive personal achievements, offer praise for a helpful act, or signal that someone has 'saved the day' during a crisis. It frequently appears alongside the supervillain emoji for contrast or with the flexed biceps emoji to emphasize strength and character.
History
This emoji was added in Unicode 11.0 in 2018 as part of a major initiative to bring greater diversity to the character roster. The skin tone modifiers were created to allow users to better represent themselves when discussing pop culture, movies, and real-life acts of heroism.
