A little context
What the family emoji means
The family emoji are joined sequences of individual people: ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ง (man, woman, girl), ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ, ๐ฉโ๐ฉโ๐ฆ, ๐จโ๐จโ๐ง and many more combinations of parents and children, plus the simpler ๐ช (family) silhouette. A device that lacks a specific combination shows the people separately, which is why family emoji so often look โbrokenโ. Newer releases add ๐งโ๐งโ๐ง gender-neutral versions.

Questions people ask
Why does my family emoji show separate people?
It is a joined sequence; the receiving device lacks that combination and shows its parts.
Is there a family emoji with skin tones?
Most family sequences do not support skin tones; the individual person emoji do.
