Backstory

The head massage emoji was introduced as part of Unicode 7.0 in 2014. It reflects a common service available in spas, salons, and wellness centers globally, emphasizing personal care and well-being. The addition of various skin tone modifiers in later Unicode versions (like 1F3FF for dark skin) allows for greater representation and inclusivity.
