Woman and man holding hands: medium-light skin tone, dark skin tone Emoji
People
A woman with medium-light skin and a man with dark skin holding hands side-by-side. The design features a gender-neutral connection point between the two figures to represent them standing as a unit.
Usage Context
Used to denote a romantic relationship, a platonic friendship, or a pairing between two people. People often use this alongside ❤️ or 🤝 to emphasize commitment, partnership, or the simple act of being together. It is a go-to for announcements about engagements, weddings, or meeting up with a close friend.
History
This emoji was made possible by the introduction of the Zero Width Joiner (ZWJ) sequence in Unicode 9.0 in 2016. Before this, emojis were static, single-character images; the ZWJ allowed systems to stitch together separate gender and skin tone characters to create diverse, multi-person combinations that reflect real-world human variety.
