Man zombie Emoji

People

A male-presenting zombie with pale green, decaying skin, messy hair, and hollow eyes. The character is depicted with an outstretched arm, mimicking the classic 'shambling' walk often seen in creature features.

Usage Context

Used to discuss horror movies, Halloween events, or general feelings of exhaustion after a long day. It is frequently sent alongside other supernatural figures like 🧛‍♂️ or 👻 to set a spooky or undead-themed mood.

History

The zombie character was added to the Unicode standard in 2017 as part of Emoji 5.0. It reflects the massive cultural surge in zombie popularity driven by early 2010s television dramas and gaming franchises, which transitioned the zombie from a niche B-movie monster to a mainstream pop culture icon.
