Usage Context

History

The multi-skin tone handshake was introduced in Emoji 14.0 in 2021 as part of a technical expansion by the Unicode Consortium to support diverse, skin-tone-specific combinations for human-centric interactions, moving away from the limited yellow-only versions of earlier internet eras.
