Cook: medium skin tone Emoji

People

A person wearing a traditional white chef's toque, represented here with a medium skin tone. This emoji features a neutral, gender-inclusive face and serves as a direct professional identifier for someone working in a kitchen.

Usage Context

Used to denote cooking, professional culinary work, or simply talking about food preparation. It is the go-to character for restaurant workers or home cooks showing off a meal. It is frequently grouped with food-related icons like 🍳 or 🍝 to create a clear narrative about preparing a dish.

History

The cook emoji was added in Unicode 9.0 in 2016. It reflects the evolution of emoji sets toward greater inclusivity by offering gender-neutral, base-level characters that allow for skin tone modifiers, moving away from the limited, often gender-coded versions found in early character sets.
