Person: curly hair: dark skin tone Emoji

People

A gender-neutral figure featuring tight, voluminous curly hair and a deep, dark skin tone. The design focuses on inclusivity, providing a representation of individuals with natural afro-textured hair.

Usage Context

Used to describe someone with curly hair or to provide a specific visual match for a person's appearance. It is frequently used in social media bios, personal messages, or when discussing hair care and style, often appearing alongside 💇🏿 or 🧴.

History

This emoji was made possible by the introduction of ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequences in Unicode 8.0 in 2015. This technical update allowed for the combination of base characters—like the person emoji and specific hair or skin tone modifiers—to create diverse human representations without requiring a separate code point for every possible combination.
