Woman astronaut: dark skin tone Emoji

People

A dark-skinned woman wearing a white pressurized space suit and a protective helmet with a dark visor. The design shows only her face and upper chest, framed by the gear required for extravehicular activity.

Usage Context

Used to discuss space travel, science, aerospace careers, or as a way to highlight women in STEM. It is frequently sent alongside 🚀 when talking about launches or future exploration missions, or with 🌌 to describe deep space environments.

History

This character is a composite emoji created by combining the woman emoji with the rocket emoji using the Zero Width Joiner (ZWJ) sequence, a technical workaround implemented in Unicode 9.0 in 2016. It was part of a larger push to ensure professional role emojis better reflected the diversity of the modern workforce.
