Common Misunderstandings of đ§
Misinterpretation as a specific gender
While it is designed to be gender-neutral, some users might interpret it as a boy or a girl based on their device's rendering or personal biases.
Tip: If you need to specify gender, use đĻ (boy) or đ§ (girl). Use đ§ when gender neutrality is desired or when the gender is unknown.
Overuse for any young person
Using đ§ for teenagers or young adults might be imprecise. It specifically refers to a child.
Tip: For teenagers, use đ§âđĻą (person with curly hair) or đ§ (person). For adults, use đ¨ (man) or đŠ (woman).
