Man: curly hair: medium skin tone Emoji

People

A portrait of an adult man with medium-toned skin and a full head of short, textured curly hair. The design captures the specific hair texture and skin pigmentation using standard human-representation formatting.

Usage Context

This emoji is used to identify a specific demographic or to describe someone with curly hair. It is frequently employed in casual conversation to talk about friends, family, or celebrities who share these features. It serves as a more specific alternative to the generic 👨 man emoji, allowing users to better represent physical traits in digital communication.

History

The ability to customize skin tones for human emojis arrived in Unicode 8.0 in 2015, following a massive public push for more inclusive digital representation. The specific curly hair variant was added later in Unicode 11.0 in 2018 to address the lack of hair texture diversity within the standard emoji set.
