Person in tuxedo: medium-dark skin tone Emoji

People

A figure wearing a classic black tuxedo with a white shirt and a dark bowtie, rendered with a medium-dark skin tone. It serves as a visual shorthand for formal events or black-tie affairs.

Usage Context

This emoji is frequently used to discuss weddings, proms, galas, or high-stakes business meetings. It acts as a gender-neutral alternative to the groom emoji and is often paired with 👰🏾 or 🤵🏾‍♂️ when discussing formal partnerships or celebratory events.

History

The base character was introduced in Unicode 7.0 in 2014, and the skin tone variations were added in Unicode 8.0 in 2015. These additions were part of a major Unicode initiative to bring better racial representation to the growing library of human-based emojis, moving away from the default yellow icons used in early messaging apps.
