Backstory
The 'Person Wearing Turban' emoji (1F473) was introduced in Unicode 6.0 in 2010. The specific male variant 'Man Wearing Turban' (1F9DE 200D 2642) uses a ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequence to combine the base person with a male sign, making it more specific. This approach allows for gender-specific representations of various roles and clothing.
Usage Examples
- Identifying a male person wearing a turban in a description: 'The turbanned man greeted us.'
- Referring to Sikh men or other groups whose members commonly wear turbans: 'Many men wear turbans as part of their faith.'
- Representation of diversity in a group: 'Our team includes people from all walks of life, including men.'
