A man with a full beard, added in 2020 as part of a wave of gender- and hair-style emoji meant to fill out representation gaps. On social media it's used earnestly for bearded guys, but also ironically for hipster/lumberjack jokes and 'dad energy' memes. Trivia: it pairs the gender-neutral bearded person base with the male sign, since the original 2016 beard emoji was accidentally unisex-only at first.
