Person Emojis

50 emojis tagged person in the official Unicode CLDR project. Click any emoji for its meaning, copy-paste, and per-platform rendering.

Person emojis are the canvas Unicode uses for every human depiction that isn't gender-locked to a specific man or woman emoji. The set ranges from the gender-neutral 🧑 person and 🧓 older person to action poses like 🙅 person gesturing NO, 🙋 person raising hand, and 💁 person tipping hand. Most variants support five Fitzpatrick skin-tone modifiers, so a single base emoji yields many rendered forms. Use them in inclusive captions, instruction graphics, and any context where specifying gender would be incorrect or unnecessary.

Frequently asked about person emojis

What's the difference between 🧑 person, 👨 man, and 👩 woman?

🧑 is the gender-neutral base introduced in 2019. 👨 and 👩 existed first and remain gendered. Most role emojis (teacher, doctor, cook) come in all three flavors, and platforms increasingly default to 🧑 in suggestions where the sender hasn't specified gender.

Do all person emojis support skin tones?

Most do — Unicode supports five Fitzpatrick skin-tone modifiers on virtually every human emoji introduced since 2015. The exceptions are multi-person groupings like 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 holding hands, which use a more complex ZWJ sequence to combine two skin tones independently.
