Man with veil: dark skin tone Emoji

People

A man with dark skin wearing a traditional white bridal veil. This emoji combines the gender-neutral person with veil icon with a male gender modifier and a dark skin tone skin-tone modifier to represent a groom or man participating in wedding customs.

Usage Context

Used to discuss weddings, marriage equality, or men participating in traditions previously associated exclusively with women. It is frequently sent during wedding announcements or when sharing photos of a groom, often paired with the 💍 ring or 💒 wedding emoji to celebrate matrimonial events.

History

This emoji was made possible by the introduction of the ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequence in Unicode 9.0, which allowed for the layering of gender and skin tone modifiers onto existing base characters. It reflects the ongoing push to make emoji representation more inclusive of diverse marriage roles and gender identities.
