The Kiss: Woman, Woman, Medium Skin Tone emoji (π©π½ββ€οΈβπβπ©π½) shows two women with medium skin tones kissing, and it represents romantic love, affection, and intimacy between female partners. People use it to celebrate relationships, share Pride messages, and see themselves reflected in the emoji keyboard.
What Does the Kiss: Woman, Woman, Medium Skin Tone Emoji Mean?
This emoji means romantic affection between two women, shown through a kiss, with both figures rendered in a medium skin tone.
It belongs to the family of couple emojis that let people describe a relationship accurately instead of choosing a generic stand-in. Where older emoji sets offered only a default couple, this sequence says exactly who is in the picture: two women, both with medium skin tones, sharing an intimate moment.
The emoji sits in the People & Body category, which covers faces, hands, people, and relationship scenes. You can browse the full group on the People & Body emoji category page.
What do the visual elements represent?
Each part of the image carries a meaning: two women, a kiss, and a matching skin tone for both partners.
The kiss mark and heart motifs used on some platforms signal romance rather than friendship. The shared medium skin tone signals that both partners are drawn with the same appearance, which matters to couples who want their own likeness on screen.
What Is the Unicode Information for This Emoji?
The emoji was introduced in Unicode 13.1 and Emoji 13.1, and its official Unicode name is KISS: WOMAN, WOMAN, MEDIUM SKIN TONE.
It is not a single character. It is a sequence of ten code points joined together: U+1F469 (woman), U+1F3FD (medium skin tone modifier), U+200D (zero width joiner), U+2764 (heavy black heart), U+FE0F (variation selector-16), U+200D, U+1F48B (kiss mark), U+200D, U+1F469 (woman), and U+1F3FD (medium skin tone modifier).
The shortcode is :kiss_woman_woman_medium_skin_tone:. Because the emoji is built from a sequence, a device that does not recognize it may show separate pieces, such as two women, a heart, and a kiss mark, side by side instead of one combined image.
What Does π©π½ββ€οΈβπβπ©π½ Mean in Texting and on Social Media?
In texting and on social media, this emoji expresses romantic love, a kiss, or pride in a relationship between two women.
It works well for personal messages, anniversary posts, and couple photos. It also appears in Pride Month captions and in posts that celebrate queer love and representation.
- Happy anniversary to my favorite person in the world π©π½ββ€οΈβπβπ©π½
- Three years together and I would choose you again every time π©π½ββ€οΈβπβπ©π½
- Love is love, and this is ours. Happy Pride π©π½ββ€οΈβπβπ©π½
It can also be used playfully between partners as a goodnight kiss or a sweet reply to a loving message.
Why Does the Skin Tone Matter in This Emoji?
The skin tone matters because it lets couples choose an emoji that looks like them, which makes digital communication feel more personal and inclusive.
This version uses a medium skin tone for both women. It is a fixed, complete sequence, so you do not apply a modifier to it afterward. If you want a version without a specified skin tone, the Kiss: Woman, Woman emoji uses the default appearance.
Representation is a big reason these emojis exist. Seeing a couple that resembles you on a keyboard can make everyday messaging feel more welcoming, especially for people whose relationships were historically absent from emoji sets.
How Does the Emoji Look on Different Platforms?
The emoji appears as a kissing couple of two women on supported platforms, but each vendor draws the figures, clothing, and hearts in its own style.
Support arrived with Emoji 13.1, so you need a reasonably recent system. Based on the supported platform data:
- Apple: iOS 14.5 and later, macOS 11.3 and later
- Google: Android 12.0 and later
- Microsoft: Windows 11 and later
- Samsung: One UI 4.0 and later
- WhatsApp: version 2.21.16 and later
- Twitter: Twemoji 13.1 and later
If your device is older than these versions, the emoji may break into separate parts or appear as a blank box. Updating your operating system or messaging app usually fixes this.
Which Emojis Pair Well With π©π½ββ€οΈβπβπ©π½?
Heart, sparkle, and celebration emojis pair best with this one, since they reinforce its romantic and joyful tone.
Common combinations include a red heart or rainbow flag for Pride posts, a ring for engagement announcements, and a sparkle for a happy milestone. If you want to react to a couple's photo, the thumbs up emoji or the eyes emoji can add a casual, friendly response when someone shares good news.
- Anniversary: π©π½ββ€οΈβπβπ©π½ plus hearts and a cake
- Pride: π©π½ββ€οΈβπβπ©π½ plus a rainbow
- Engagement: π©π½ββ€οΈβπβπ©π½ plus a ring

When Should You Avoid the Kiss: Woman, Woman Emoji?
Avoid this emoji in professional, formal, or unfamiliar settings where a romantic image would feel out of place.
It is a romantic emoji, so it does not belong in work emails, client chats, or messages to people you barely know. In a workplace channel, an intimate emoji can come across as inappropriate even when the intent is warm.
It is also worth thinking about privacy. If you are posting about a relationship, make sure both people are comfortable sharing it publicly, since not everyone is out to every audience. Never use the emoji to label or speculate about someone else's relationship without their consent.
How Do You Copy and Paste the Kiss: Woman, Woman, Medium Skin Tone Emoji?
You can copy the emoji with one click on this page and paste it into any message, post, or document.
Click the emoji at the top of the page, and it is copied to your clipboard right away. Then paste it where you want it using Ctrl+V on Windows or Cmd+V on Mac, or by long pressing in a text field on your phone and choosing Paste.
Because this is a multi-part sequence, it is safest to copy and paste rather than retype it. That way every code point, including the joiners and skin tone modifiers, arrives intact, and the emoji displays as a single image on any device that supports Emoji 13.1.
