Man cook Emoji

People

A man wearing a tall, white chef's toque and a white uniform jacket, often depicted as a professional culinary expert or someone busy preparing a meal.

Usage Context

Used to represent someone cooking, working in a restaurant kitchen, or hosting a dinner. It is frequently sent when sharing photos of home-cooked meals or discussing culinary interests. It functions as a gender-specific alternative to the standard 👩‍🍳 or the gender-neutral 🧑‍🍳.

History

While the chef emoji was part of early Unicode sets, the ability to specify gender for occupations was introduced in Unicode 9.0 in 2016 as part of a push for more diverse representation within human-based pictograms.
