How it looks
What does it mean?
A family with two mothers and two daughters. One of the most specific family ZWJ sequences in Unicode, representing lesbian-headed families with two girls.
Added in Emoji 2.0 (2015), this seven-code-point ZWJ sequence is among the longest family emojis. It was part of the diverse family batch that expanded representation beyond the traditional nuclear family.
The emoji is both specific and symbolic. It represents a particular family configuration (two moms, two daughters) but also stands for LGBTQ+ family diversity more broadly. In countries with marriage equality, it's a celebration. In countries without, it's a statement.
Used by lesbian-headed families with two daughters, in LGBTQ+ family advocacy, and during Pride Month. The specificity (two moms, two girls specifically) means it's less commonly used than broader family emojis, but it matters to the families it represents.
Also appears in discussions about family diversity, representation in media, and LGBTQ+ parental rights.
A family with two mothers and two daughters. Represents lesbian-headed families. One of the most specific family emojis in Unicode.

Origin story
This emoji is part of the 2015 diverse family batch. It's notable for being one of the longest ZWJ sequences (seven code points) and one of the most specific family representations. While most people will use simpler family emojis, for families with two moms and two daughters, this is the first time their exact configuration was represented in a standard character set.
The proliferation of family ZWJ sequences (25+ combinations) has been both praised for representation and criticized for complexity. Some platforms have simplified rendering by using silhouettes (Emoji 15.1's gender-neutral approach), while others maintain detailed character designs.
Added in Emoji 2.0 (2015). ZWJ sequence: + + + + + + . Seven code points — one of the longest standard family sequences.
Around the world
Same as other same-sex family emojis: celebrated in countries with LGBTQ+ rights, potentially censored in countries without. The specificity of two daughters makes this emoji extremely niche but deeply meaningful to the families it represents.
