Backstory
This emoji is part of the basic human emoji set, representing a generic male individual. The 'Man' emoji (U+1F468) was introduced in Unicode 6.0 in 2010. The 200D is a zero-width joiner, and 1F3ED is not a standard skin tone or hair modifier for the 'Man' emoji. The sequence 1F468 200D 1F3ED does not form a recognized ZWJ sequence for a specific profession or family type in standard emoji specifications. This sequence might be the result of a misunderstanding or a custom, non-standard implementation.
Usage Examples
- Referring to a male person: 'He's a great friend. 👨'
- In a group of people: 'We have a diverse team of 👨 and 👩.'
- As a placeholder for a male: 'Please assign this task to a 👨.'
- Used neutrally: 'There's a 👨 waiting at the door.'
