Skin tones for the bald emoji
Each bald emoji supports the five standard skin tone modifiers. A light-skin bald man is written ๐จ๐ป๐ฆฒ, while the darkest tone is ๐จ๐ฟ๐ฆฒ. The same applies to the woman ๐ฉ๐ฆฒ and gender-neutral person ๐ง๐ฆฒ. You can also use ๐ง๐ป๐ฆฒ for a light-skin person, which appears as a bald person with light skin.
To add a skin tone on mobile, long-press the bald emoji and choose from the row that appears. On desktop, copy ๐จ๐ฟ๐ฆฒ directly from this page.
Skin tone modifiers work on most single-person emojis, not just the bald ones.
