Woman detective: dark skin tone Emoji

People

A dark-skinned woman wearing a wide-brimmed fedora and a long trench coat, partially obscuring her face with a magnifying glass. She embodies the classic noir-style investigator searching for clues.

Usage Context

Used to suggest mystery, investigative work, or uncovering secrets. People often use this emoji when they are 'playing detective' by digging into social media profiles or trying to solve a confusing situation. It is frequently sent alongside 🔍 or 🕵️ to signal that an inquiry is underway.

History

While the base detective emoji was added to Unicode in 2010, the ability to apply skin tone modifiers arrived in 2015. This specific gendered version was introduced in 2016 as part of the Emoji 4.0 update, which expanded representation by allowing users to specify the gender of existing professional roles.
