Woman guard: dark skin tone Emoji

People

A dark-skinned woman wearing the iconic tall, black fur cap known as a bearskin, typical of the soldiers who stand watch at British royal residences. This emoji explicitly depicts a female member of the Foot Guards.

Usage Context

Used to discuss British landmarks, royal traditions, or the act of standing guard or keeping watch. It is often sent when referencing a trip to London, Buckingham Palace, or general military service, sometimes paired with 💂 or the 🇬🇧 flag to emphasize a British theme.

History

While the base guard emoji was added to Unicode in 2010, the ability to modify the gender and skin tone of this character arrived later in 2016 as part of the Emoji 4.0 update, allowing for greater representation of the diverse individuals serving in modern ceremonial roles.
