Kiss: person, person, medium-dark skin tone, medium skin tone Emoji

People

A composite emoji displaying two people of different skin tones sharing a kiss, with a small red heart hovering between them. This design uses a ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequence to merge individual person emojis into a single romantic unit.

Usage Context

Used to express affection, celebrate anniversaries, or sign off messages to partners with a digital peck. It serves as a more specific alternative to the classic 😘 or the standard 💋, allowing users to better reflect the diversity of their personal relationships.

History

While the standalone kiss mark 💋 has been part of the standard since 2010, the ability to combine skin tones for couple emojis arrived later with Unicode 10.0 in 2017. This update was a major push to make digital communication more inclusive by allowing users to accurately represent a wider array of interracial couples.
