Backstory
This emoji sequence combines a person emoji (1F9D1) with a skin tone modifier (1F3FF for dark skin tone) and a zero width joiner (200D) to connect with a specific hair type component (1F9B0 for curly hair). This allows for a more inclusive and diverse representation of individuals in emoji form. It was part of an effort to broaden emoji diversity.
Usage Examples

Cultural Differences
Western culture:
Often associated with specific ethnicities or fashion trends. Red hair can sometimes have cultural stereotypes (e.g., fiery, Irish heritage).
East Asian culture:
Less common naturally, so it might be perceived as a more distinct or 'Western' appearance, or a fashion choice for hair dye.
