Man cook: medium skin tone Emoji

People

A man wearing a tall, white chef’s toque and a matching double-breasted jacket, rendered with a medium skin tone. The character is portrayed as a professional food preparer, ready to handle tasks in a kitchen.

Usage Context

Used to discuss professional culinary work, home cooking, or simply to express that you are currently preparing a meal. It is frequently sent alongside food-related icons like 🍳, 🥘, or 👨‍🍳 to signal that someone is working in the kitchen.

History

The cook emoji was added to the Unicode standard in 2010, but the ability to assign specific gender and skin tone modifiers arrived later with the Emoji 4.0 update in 2016. This update allowed for more diverse representation of roles that were previously restricted to generic or male-only character sets.
