Red hair Emoji

Objects

A close-up view of a head featuring bright, fiery red hair. The hair is depicted with a warm, copper-toned color that immediately distinguishes the subject from those with blonde or brown hair.

Usage Context

Used to describe someone with ginger hair, report on hair color changes, or simply tag posts featuring redheads. It is often combined with face emojis like 👩 or 👨 to specify the appearance of a person, or used alongside 🧡 when celebrating ginger pride.

History

Added in 2018 as part of Unicode 11.0, this emoji arrived after a massive global campaign by users and advocacy groups who pushed for more representative hair color options. It was specifically requested to fill a gap in human diversity standards on digital platforms.
