History
These human-pairing emojis were introduced in Unicode 9.0 in 2016 as part of an expansion to represent diverse family and relationship structures. The ability to customize skin tones for individual people within a single emoji grouping was made possible by ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) technology, which allows multiple distinct characters to render as one combined image.
