Backstory
This emoji combines multiple unicode characters: 'person getting haircut' (1F487), 'medium dark skin tone' (1F3FE), 'zero width joiner' (200D), 'female sign' (2640), and 'variation selector-16' (FE0F) to specify a woman with a medium dark complexion receiving a haircut. The base 'person getting haircut' emoji was approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015. The skin tone and gender modifiers were added later to provide more inclusive representation.
