Meaning
A gender-neutral figure with white or silver hair is depicted here, showing a calm, dignified expression and distinctive pale locks. The design maintains the same visual clarity and respect as the gendered version, without making assumptions about identity. The white hair is clearly visible and treated as a meaningful characteristic.
This emoji offers a way to reference someone with white hair without specifying gender—useful when you're talking about a person whose gender identity you don't know, when they prefer neutral representation, or when the conversation simply doesn't require gendering. It works in family discussions, age-related conversations, or general descriptions.
Approved as part of Unicode Emoji 12.1 in 2019, this person variant continues the emoji standard's commitment to offering non-binary options across all character types. It ensures that representation isn't limited to binary categories, allowing for more nuanced and inclusive communication.
Common Uses
- • Describing someone with white or grey hair neutrally
- • Discussing family members without gendering
- • Representing diverse ages and appearances
