Man scientist: medium skin tone Emoji

People

A man with medium skin tone wearing a white lab coat and safety goggles while holding a glass flask filled with a glowing liquid. He is depicted with short hair and a focused expression.

Usage Context

Used to represent professions in the STEM fields, academic research, or a general interest in chemistry and experimentation. It is often paired with the 🧪 test tube or 🧬 dna to emphasize laboratory work, or used jokingly when someone is 'cooking up' a new idea or project.

History

This emoji was introduced as part of the Unicode 10.0 update in 2017. It was created to provide more diverse options for professional roles, building on the earlier, gender-neutral scientist emoji that lacked the specific skin tone and gender modifiers available today.
