A gender-neutral older person, introduced to give age representation without forcing a binary choice between old man and old woman. It's used to refer to elderly people generally, or in discussions about aging and elder care. Trivia: 'older person' arrived in Unicode 10.0 (2017) as one of the first deliberate 'person' (gender-neutral) additions, predating the larger 2019 push that applied the same pattern to professions and hair types.
Keywords: adult, elderly, grandparent, old, person, wise
