Backstory
This emoji combines several Unicode characters to represent a specific concept. The base 'person getting haircut' (1F487) was introduced in Unicode 6.0 (2010). The skin tone modifier (1F3FF for dark skin tone) was added in Unicode 8.0 (2015), along with the zero width joiner (200D) to combine with the female sign (2640) and variation selector-16 (FE0F) to specify a woman with a dark skin tone getting a haircut. This combination allows for more inclusive and specific representations of people.
