Also known as: hug, embrace, comfort, support, hugging, holding each other
The People Hugging (🫂) emoji shows two figures embracing. Introduced in 2022, it filled a long-standing gap — a way to say I am giving you a hug or I am here for you. It represents comfort, support, and physical affection. Unlike 🤗 (hugging face), which shows one person offering a hug, 🫂 shows mutual embrace. The blue silhouettes make it gender-neutral.
