Common Misunderstandings of 👤

Misinterpretation as a specific gender or age

While the silhouette is generic, some might project specific demographics onto it. It is intended to be gender-neutral and age-neutral.

Tip: If you need to specify gender or age, use other people emojis (e.g., 👨 for man, 👩 for woman, 🧒 for child) or clarifying text.

Overuse for a group of people

Using 👤 for a group of people is incorrect. It specifically implies a single individual.

Tip: For a group of people, use đŸ‘Ĩ (busts in silhouette) or other group emojis.
