Women holding hands: medium-light skin tone, light skin tone Emoji

People

Two women standing side-by-side, holding hands, featuring one figure with a medium-light skin tone and the other with a light skin tone. The design clearly shows the hands joined in a clasp.

Usage Context

Used to denote friendship, sisterhood, or a romantic partnership between women. It is frequently sent to celebrate a bond, announce a relationship, or simply express camaraderie. Users often pair it with 👩‍❤️‍👩 to emphasize affection or with 👯 to highlight a close-knit friendship.

History

This emoji was created as part of the ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequence standard, which allows platforms to combine individual emoji characters—in this case, two women and a handshake—to form a single, cohesive image. This technical advancement, implemented in Unicode 9.0 in 2016, enabled a much wider range of diverse, multi-person representations that weren't possible in the early days of basic emoji sets.
