The "🏿" emote, also known as the "Dark Skin Tone" emote, is a representation of a black or dark-skinned person. It was added to the Unicode Standard in 2016 as part of an effort to promote diversity and inclusivity in digital communication. The emote is one of five skin tone variations available for many human-related emojis, allowing users to choose the skin tone that best represents themselves or the people they are referring to.
