Backstory
This emoji is a ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequence combining 'person with blonde hair' (👱), 'skin tone modifier (type 1)' (🏿), 'ZWJ' (‍), 'female sign' (♀), and 'variation selector-16' (️). It was created to provide more diverse representations of people in emojis, specifically allowing for combinations of hair color, gender, and skin tone. The base 'person with blonde hair' was introduced in Unicode 6.0 (2010), and the ZWJ sequence for specific gender and hair/skin modifiers evolved in later Unicode versions (e.g., Unicode 13.0 for these specific combinations).
Usage Examples
- To describe a person: 'She is a woman with light brown hair and fair skin 👱🏿‍♀️.'
- In a character description: 'The novel's protagonist 👱🏿‍♀️ embarked on a new adventure.'
- To represent a specific individual: 'This is my sister 👱🏿‍♀️.'
- As part of a diverse group: 'Our team includes 👨🏻 👩🏼 👱🏿‍♀️ and many others.'
Cultural Differences
Western culture:
Often used to represent women in general, or sometimes specific individuals matching the appearance. Hair color/skin tone modifiers are commonly used to add specificity.
East Asian culture:
Similar usage, but the specific combination of hair color and skin tone might be more common or less common depending on regional demographics. Emphasis tends to be on accurate representation rather than specific emotional content.
