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

People

Two women standing side-by-side, holding hands, with one woman shown in a light skin tone and the other in a medium skin tone. They are connected by a small grey handshake icon that links the two individual characters together.

Usage Context

History

This sequence was made possible by the introduction of Zero Width Joiner (ZWJ) sequences in Unicode, which allowed platforms to combine multiple existing character codes into a single, cohesive image. This technical update significantly expanded the platform's ability to represent diverse interpersonal relationships.
