Man: beard: light skin tone Emoji

People

A head-and-shoulders portrait of a man with a thick, well-groomed beard and a light skin tone. It features a masculine silhouette designed to represent facial hair in a clean, recognizable fashion.

Usage Context

Used to describe someone with a beard, signal maturity, or identify oneself in a digital space. It is frequently sent alongside the 🧔 or 👨 emojis to distinguish between various styles of facial hair and grooming choices across different platforms.

History

While the basic bearded man emoji was added in 2017 to address the lack of variety in human representation, the ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequence for specific skin tones was rolled out shortly after to allow users to better reflect their actual appearance in messaging apps.
