Where does 馃け Breast-feeding emoji come from?
The Breast-feeding emoji 馃け was approved under Unicode 10.0 in 2017. On most major platforms, the emoji depicts a woman breast-feeding a baby wrapped in a blanket while looking down and smiling. The woman鈥檚 hair color and hair style are different depending on the platform. The color of the woman鈥檚 clothing and the color of the baby鈥檚 blanket also change depending on the platform. The baby is entirely wrapped in the blanket in the Microsoft version, and their head is entirely hidden by a hat in the Apple, Google, Samsung, and WhatsApp versions of the emoji. On supported platforms, the emoji can be customized with various skin tones. If it is, the skin tone of the baby will match the skin tone of the woman if any part of the baby鈥檚 skin is visible.
While the Breast-feeding emoji 馃け is used to specifically refer to breast-feeding, it also has a wider usage in reference to parenthood, young babies, and mothers. In this general sense, it has a lot of overlap in usage with the Woman Feeding Baby emoji 馃懇鈥嶐煃� and the Pregnant Woman emoji 馃ぐ.
