People & Body

People & body is the largest emoji category, covering hand gestures, body parts, people, roles, activities, and families. It's where you'll find 👍 and 🙏, waving and clapping hands, and a wide cast of people across professions and pastimes. Most human emoji support five skin-tone variants plus a default yellow — pick a tone with the selector and the copied character updates to match. Many also come in different gender and role forms, and some combine into family and couple sequences using zero-width joiners, so what looks like one emoji is often several codepoints stitched together. Tap to copy any gesture or person below and paste it into a message, story, or profile. Gestures are the workhorses here: 👋 opens a chat, 🤝 seals an agreement, 🤦 needs no caption. Use the subgroup anchors to jump to hands, single people, people with activities, or family groupings, and remember that rendering — especially of professions and multi-person sequences — varies more across platforms than simple smileys do.
