Selfie: dark skin tone Emoji

People

A dark-skinned hand holding a smartphone out at arm's length, angled to capture a photo of the user. The screen of the phone displays a captured image, clearly indicating a picture being taken.

Usage Context

Widely used to signal that someone is taking a photo of themselves, documenting a personal moment, or showing off an outfit or location. It is the go-to icon for social media posts where the user is the primary subject, often appearing alongside 📸 or 🤳 to show the act of recording.

History

The basic selfie emoji was added to the Unicode standard in 2016 as part of Emoji 3.0. The ability to modify the skin tone was added shortly after to better reflect the diverse range of global social media users who participate in the selfie culture that exploded with the rise of front-facing smartphone cameras.
