What 👨🏻‍🦳 is made of

This symbol is glued together from several: an invisible joiner sits between them. Software that does not know about the joiner shows the parts separately.

  1. 👨 man U+1F468
  2. 🏻 skin tone U+1F3FB
  3. invisible joiner U+200D
  4. 🦳 white hair U+1F9B3

Hence the familiar surprise: you send one picture and the other side gets several in a row, and deleting removes the symbol piece by piece. That is not a fault but how the standard itself works.

Will your readers see 👨🏻‍🦳

The symbol belongs to the Emoji 11.0 set, and all four platforms have caught up with it. Below is the exact release for each.

  • Apple since October 30, 2018 iOS 12.1
  • Google since August 6, 2018 Android 9.0
  • Microsoft since October 2, 2018 Windows 10 October 2018 Update
  • Samsung since August 21, 2020 One UI 2.5

Checked against release descriptions on August 31, 2026. When new emoji reach devices.

Where the 👨🏻‍🦳 emoji is used

The 👨🏻‍🦳 smiley copies in one tap and pastes into a chat as text, not as a picture: it is a Unicode symbol, so it works the same in WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and in a post caption. Every platform draws emoji its own way — below you can see how man: light skin tone, white hair is drawn in the open Noto, OpenMoji and Twemoji sets.
