History

While the base woman teacher emoji was introduced in Unicode 6.0, the skin tone modifiers were added in 2015 and 2016 as part of an effort by the Unicode Consortium to make digital representations more inclusive of global demographics. These updates moved away from the default yellow tone to offer more accurate depictions of real-world classroom diversity.
