Women holding hands: light skin tone, medium-light skin tone Emoji

People

History

This emoji was made possible by the introduction of ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequences in Emoji 4.0, which allowed for the combining of separate characters into a single unit. This advancement finally allowed users to represent diverse pairings and specific skin tone combinations that were previously unavailable in standard sets.
