People holding hands: medium-dark skin tone, medium-light skin tone Emoji

People

Usage Context

Used to represent platonic friendship, romantic relationships, or general camaraderie. It is a popular choice for tagging a 100 percent match, showing support for a partner, or acknowledging a close 'bestie' relationship.

History
