Woman getting massage: medium-dark skin tone Emoji

People

A woman with medium-dark skin depicted with closed eyes and hands massaging her temples. She appears to be receiving a head massage, indicated by the hands positioned on the sides of her head.

Usage Context

This emoji is used to signal relaxation, a trip to the spa, or the relief of a headache or stress. It is frequently sent when someone is treating themselves to a self-care day or recovering from a high-pressure situation, often accompanied by 💆 or 🧘🏾‍♀.

History

The base massage emoji was introduced in Unicode 6.0 in 2010. The gender-specific version and skin tone modifiers were added in later releases as part of a broader push by the Unicode Consortium to increase human representation and diversity across the emoji keyboard.
