# isEmojiModifier

A Boolean value indicating whether the scalar is one that can modify a base emoji that precedes it.

## Declaration

```swift
var isEmojiModifier: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The Fitzpatrick skin types are examples of emoji modifiers; they change the appearance of the preceding emoji base (that is, a scalar for which isEmojiModifierBase is true) by rendering it with a different skin tone. This property corresponds to the “Emoji_Modifier” property in the Unicode Standard.
