### Emoji modifiers

[edit]

Main article: Emoji modifiers

The Miscellaneous Symbols block has two emoji that represent people or body parts. They can be modified using U+1F3FB–U+1F3FF to provide for a range of human skin color using the Fitzpatrick scale:[7]

Human emoji  U+ | 261D | 26F9

|
|

emoji | ☝️ | ⛹️
FITZ-1-2 | ☝️🏻 | ⛹🏻
FITZ-3 | ☝️🏼 | ⛹🏼
FITZ-4 | ☝️🏽 | ⛹🏽
FITZ-5 | ☝️🏾 | ⛹🏾
FITZ-6 | ☝️🏿 | ⛹🏿

Additional human emoji can be found in other Unicode blocks: Dingbats, Emoticons, Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs, Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs, Symbols and Pictographs Extended-A and Transport and Map Symbols.

## History

[edit]

In Unicode 1.0 (1991) the same block was named Miscellaneous Dingbats (not to be confused with current "Dingbats" block, which was then named "Zapf Dingbats").[9]

The following Unicode-related documents record the purpose and process of defining specific characters in the Miscellaneous Symbols block:
