Family: Man, Man, Girl 👨‍👨‍👧

This shows two adult men and a young girl together, typically depicted with connected or side-by-side positioning.

This represents same-sex male families with daughters, whether through adoption, surrogacy, or blended arrangements. Users display it to showcase their family reality, celebrate LGBTQ+ parenthood, or simply to reflect household members. It's an everyday representation tool that makes queer families visible in messaging, social media, and digital spaces where visibility has historically been limited.

The emoji serves both literal and symbolic purposes—literally showing who lives in your home, and symbolically affirming that families come in many configurations. Different platform renderings vary slightly in style and positioning, but the core message remains consistent across Apple, Google, Samsung, and others.

Introduced as Unicode Emoji 2 in 2015, this combination was part of a revolutionary update that expanded family emoji beyond traditional heterosexual structures, giving millions of people a tool to accurately represent their lived reality for the first time.
