The male version of 🧑🦳 Person with White Hair. Just like the representation of curly hair is done among men to normalize its acceptance, the same goes for white hair. Having white hair is like a taboo of getting old but to break this taboo, various programs and incidences are held by people where this emoji can be effective & quite relatable. White hair is a very common factor of not only today's middle-aged people but even some youngsters & this is impactfully seen in this emoji.
HISTORY:
Even if the use of this emoji is now done worldwide, previously, its technical implementation was restricted and solely relied on Unicode's system of combining base emojis with the modifier ones. This allowed for a much broader range of variations to occur in the world of emojis with passing time.
USES:
At first, the only use of this emoji was to represent a male figure with grey hair in text messages, digital communication formats, social media platforms, etc. However, slowly its symbolic representation and use increased, sidelining its actual purpose of creation and giving way to multiple such emojis to get created. Also, this emoji has a specialty of representing age, wisdom, and the art of acknowledging the presence of white color in men's hair.
