Women holding hands: medium-light skin tone Emoji

People

Two women with medium-light skin tones standing side-by-side, each reaching out to hold the hand of the other. The figures are rendered in a standard digital graphic style, mirroring the look of the 👭 emoji but with specific skin tone modifiers.

Usage Context

Widely used to represent close friendships, sisterhood, or romantic relationships between women. It is a go-to icon for signaling support, solidarity, or documenting time spent with a close friend or partner. It is frequently sent alongside 💖 or 👯‍♀️ to emphasize connection and shared activities.

History

These skin tone variations were added to the Unicode standard in 2015 as part of Emoji 2.0. This update was a major move toward inclusive representation, allowing users to move beyond the default yellow-toned figures to better reflect the diverse range of human skin tones found in global online communication.
