Woman guard: medium-dark skin tone Emoji

People

A woman wearing a tall, black bearskin hat, representing a member of the Queen’s Guard. This version features a medium-dark skin tone, reflecting the push for broader representation in digital iconography.

Usage Context

Frequently used to denote London, the United Kingdom, or royal traditions. It is often employed in travel discussions or to playfully refer to someone standing watch or acting as a protector, similar to the 💂 guard or the 🏰 castle emoji.

History

While the guard character dates back to early Unicode sets, the female variation and skin tone modifiers were added in 2016 as part of Unicode 9.0 to ensure that professional and uniform-based roles reflected the diversity of actual modern-day military and ceremonial staff.
