An adult&nbsp;with no gender specified.&nbsp;This emoji may be used to talk about adults in a gender-inclusive way.

Variants include <a href="/woman/">👩 Woman</a> and <a href="/man/">👨 Man</a>.

Person

Zero Width Joiner (ZWJ) is a Unicode character that joins two or more other characters together in sequence to create a new emoji.

Zero Width Joiner, pronounced &quot;zwidge&quot;, is not an emoji and has no appearance by itself. This&nbsp;is an invisible character when used alone.

View&nbsp;<a href="/emoji-zwj-sequence/" title="Emoji ZWJ Sequences">Emoji ZWJ Sequences</a>&nbsp;that use this character.

Zero Width Joiner

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

Two people holding hands, most likely due to being in a relationship.

No gender is specified for these two people, meaning they are likely to be shown with a gender inclusive design.

12.0

Two people hugging, shown as faceless blue forms on most platforms. Details of each person are not distinct and thus no options are available to customize the gender or skin tone of either individual.

Not to be confused with <a href="/hugging-face/">🤗 Hugging Face</a>, which is less clearly a representation of hugging and sometimes used as jazz hands or to express excitement.

People Hugging

A flag with horizontal&nbsp;pale&nbsp;blue and pale&nbsp;pink stripes with a single white stripe in the middle, used as a Transgender or Transgender Pride flag and commonly seen at <a href="/pride/">Pride events</a>.

Transgender Flag

A person standing upright. Commonly used to convey&nbsp;awkwardness,&nbsp;particularly <a href="/tiktok/">on TikTok</a>.

Similar in appearance to&nbsp;<a href="/person-walking/">🚶 Person Walking</a>, but shown facing forward&nbsp;and without any motion implied.

Standing Person

A heart emoji with an arrow through the center, like the arrow that cupid shoots for love.
