Men holding hands: dark skin tone, medium skin tone Emoji

People

Two men with dark and medium skin tones standing side-by-side, gripping each other's hands. This emoji uses ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) technology to combine individual figures into a single connected visual unit.

Usage Context

Used to represent platonic bromance, romantic partnerships, or family bonds between two men. It is the go-to choice for showing support for a friend or partner and is frequently used alongside ❤️ or 🤝 to emphasize closeness and solidarity.

History

This sequence was added to the Unicode standard in 2019 as part of a major push to expand inclusivity and represent a wider array of diverse human relationships, moving beyond the limited set of gendered or skin-tone-specific icons available in earlier versions of the emoji keyboard.
