Woman: curly hair: dark skin tone Emoji

People

A portrait of a woman featuring a dark skin tone and a head of tightly coiled, curly hair. This variation uses the ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequence to combine the standard woman base emoji with specific hair and skin tone modifiers.

Usage Context

Used to represent specific individuals, friends, or influencers who identify as Black or dark-skinned women with curly textures. It is frequently swapped with other hair variations like 👩‍🦰 or 👩‍🦳 to better match a person’s real-world appearance in digital conversations.

History

The ability to modify skin tones was added in Unicode 8.0 in 2015, while the specific curly hair component was introduced in Emoji 11.0 in 2018 to address the need for better representation of natural hair textures across the global user base.
