Woman playing handball: medium-dark skin tone Emoji

People

A woman with medium-dark skin depicted in mid-motion while playing handball. The figure is captured as if about to throw or catch a small ball with one hand, featuring an athletic pose typical of high-speed court sports.

Usage Context

Used to discuss professional handball matches, physical education classes, or general fitness. It acts as a gendered counterpart to the standard 🤾 emoji and is frequently used alongside other sports icons like 🏀 or 🏐 to denote competitive team play.

History

Handball icons were added to the Unicode standard in 2016 as part of an effort to diversify the sports category. The skin tone modifiers, including this medium-dark version, were introduced through the Fitzpatrick scale integration to provide more inclusive representation for users across global digital platforms.
