People

A composite emoji depicting two men sharing a kiss with a floating red heart between them, featuring a dark skin tone for one man and a light skin tone for the other. This glyph is formed by joining several distinct characters into a single visual unit.

Usage Context

Used to celebrate romantic relationships, dating, or marriage between men. It is a common way to express affection or sign off on a message with a digital kiss. Users often pair this with ❤️ or 😍 to emphasize the depth of their connection.

History

This emoji was made possible by the introduction of Zero Width Joiner (ZWJ) sequences in Unicode 8.0 (2015) and subsequent updates to skin tone modifiers. This technology allowed for the creation of diverse family and couple representations that were not possible with individual characters alone.
