Usage Context
Used to represent professional wrestling, amateur combat sports, or playful roughhousing among friends.

It is often paired with the 🤼 wrestling emoji or the 🥊 boxing glove to signal a competitive spirit.
History
This sequence was added in Emoji 14.0 in 2021 as part of an expansion to include skin tone modifiers for multi-person emojis. This allowed users to more accurately represent diverse pairings in sports and social interactions, moving away from the default yellow-skinned characters that dominated early messaging platforms.
