Woman and man holding hands: medium-dark skin tone, dark skin tone Emoji
People
A side-by-side depiction of a woman and a man holding hands, featuring the medium-dark skin tone for the woman and the dark skin tone for the man. They are linked together by a small grey handshake icon that signifies their connection.
Usage Context
This emoji is frequently used to show romantic relationships, signify a pair of close friends, or represent a supportive partnership. It is a popular way to announce a relationship on social media or confirm that you are spending time with a significant other. It functions similarly to the more generic 👫 or the heart-focused 💑.
History
This complex character was enabled by the introduction of Zero Width Joiner (ZWJ) sequences in Unicode 9.0 in 2016. This technology allowed developers to combine individual person emojis with a handshake connector to create diverse, multi-skin-tone pairings that were previously impossible to display as a single glyph.
