👦

Boy Emoji 👦

What 👦 means

A stereotypical boy's face with short hair and an innocent expression. This emoji signifies boyhood and all the adventures of being a boy.

The 👦 Boy emoji, most of all, sits well with any situation or conversation that says 'boy' (literally. We don't do metaphors with genders), like a baby shower, a birthday, etc. It is available in the designated skin tones almost across all platforms.

How and when to use it

If you or someone you know very closely is expecting a baby boy, you can either use 👦 in the virtual invites or just social media posts or private messages.
👦 can also be used when you're sending or posting pictures of your baby boy (your child. A boyfriend or husband don't count here, they're men).
If somehow, you and your best friend are casually about boy toys (offensive AF, but its an actual term and many are okay with it), use 👦 in such conversations.
If you're trying to draft a fun script that involves a boy and you're using emojis in that dialogue, you can bring in the 👦 emoji.
Kindly refrain from cringy applications of the 👦 emoji.
