Kiss: Woman, Woman 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

Two women in profile, faces meeting in an affectionate kiss with clear visual markers indicating femininity. The design conveys romantic intimacy between women through a tender, passionate embrace. It's an unambiguous representation of lesbian or sapphic romantic connection, rendered with warmth and equal weight to its heterosexual counterpart.

This emoji is used by women who love women to express romantic relationships, celebrate partnerships, announce engagements, and declare love. It appears in couple posts, anniversary captions, dating profile bios, and love declarations. For lesbian and bisexual women, it provides explicit visual representation in messaging apps and social media—something that simply wasn't available in official emoji sets before 2015.

On Pride platforms, in LGBTQ+ community spaces, and in personal intimate messaging, it serves as a powerful symbol of visibility and authenticity. Women use it to communicate relationship status, share romantic moments, and celebrate their partnerships openly. Unlike relying on the generic kiss emoji or hand-holding symbols, this variant makes the specific nature of the relationship unmistakably clear.

Alongside the man-man kiss emoji, this arrived as part of Unicode Emoji 2.0 in 2015. Both represented watershed moments in emoji design—platforms finally recognized that romantic love between women deserved the same explicit, celebratory representation that heterosexual couples had always enjoyed, fundamentally changing how LGBTQ+ users could represent themselves in digital spaces.
