Woman playing handball: medium skin tone Emoji

People

A woman with medium skin tone mid-motion as she prepares to throw or catch a handball. She is shown in a dynamic pose, arm cocked back or extended, capturing the high-energy nature of the sport.

Usage Context

This emoji is frequently used to discuss team sports, physical fitness, or actual matches. It is a go-to when describing throwing mechanics or general athletic activity, often appearing alongside other sport-specific icons like 🏀 or 🏐 to highlight active lifestyles.

History

Part of the effort to increase gender and skin tone representation in the Unicode emoji set, this character was introduced in Unicode 10.0 in 2017. It uses the ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequence to combine the woman emoji, the handball emoji, and the medium skin tone modifier.
