People holding hands: dark skin tone, light skin tone Emoji
People
Two people standing side-by-side with their hands joined. The person on the left features a dark skin tone, while the person on the right features a light skin tone.
Usage Context
This emoji is used to represent diverse relationships, including friendships, partnerships, and social connections between people of different backgrounds. It is frequently sent to show solidarity, togetherness, or the idea of two people being a team. It serves as an inclusive counterpart to more specific pairing emojis like 👩❤️💋👨 or 🧑🤝🧑.
History
The ability to customize skin tones for multi-person emojis was added in Unicode 9.0 in 2016. This update was a major technical shift in the standard, allowing users to move away from the default yellow figures to represent the specific diversity of their own personal relationships.
