Where the 👩🏻🤝👨🏿 emoji is used
The 👩🏻🤝👨🏿 smiley copies in one tap and pastes into a chat as text, not as a picture: it is a Unicode symbol, so it works the same in WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and in a post caption. Every platform draws emoji its own way — below you can see how woman and man holding hands: light skin tone, dark skin tone is drawn in the open Noto, OpenMoji and Twemoji sets.
