Two hands performing a handshake gesture, indicating a&nbsp;cordial greeting between friends or associates.

As of late 2021&#39;s <a href="/emoji-14.0/">Emoji 14.0</a> recommendations, this emoji design has multiple <a href="/emoji-modifier-sequence/">skin tone modifier</a> options. Certain platforms did, however, support a small number of single skin tone options for the handshake emoji prior to 2021 (e.g. both <a href="/google/android-7.1/new/">Google</a>&nbsp;and <a href="/samsung/touchwiz-7.1/new/">Samsung</a> in 2017).&nbsp;<a href="/handshakes/">View all handshake emojis</a>.

Handshake

A&nbsp;pale skin tone modifier, which can be applied to a range of human emoji characters.

<ul>
	<li>Type 1 on the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzpatrick_scale" target="_blank">Fitzpatrick Scale</a>&nbsp;of skin tones is described as:&nbsp;Pale white; blond or red hair; blue eyes; freckles</li>
	<li>Type 2 on the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzpatrick_scale" target="_blank">Fitzpatrick Scale</a>&nbsp;of skin tones is described as:&nbsp;White; fair; blond or red hair; blue, green, or hazel eyes</li>
</ul>

This is a combination of type 1&nbsp;(pale white) and type 2 (white). Despite the descriptions, Apple&rsquo;s artwork tends to display this type-1-2 skin tone modifier with dark hair.
