What šāāļø means
From the shoulders up, this man wears a bearskin hat with a black and red guard uniform. This emoji refers to the royal guardsman, also known as the Queen's Guard.
The šāāļø Man Guard emoji refers to any infantry or cavalry soldier chosen to be the queen's guard irrespective of the rank and specified duties. This emoji signifies protection, defense, vigilance, dedication, and a certain extent of altruism.
It is available in the designated skin tones on almost all platforms.
How and when to use it
- If you're vowing to protect a secret that someone close told you, you can use šāāļø in that context.
- You can also use šāāļø while indicating that you would look out for someone, either as a favor or as a voluntary action.
- If you're feeling stuck in life, immovable and under pressure, you can use šāāļø in such a conversation. This is not because the queen's guards own any of these traits, but because these guardsmen seem stationary unless required/ordered to move.
- If you're absolutely supportive of your best friend's dreams or ideas and you've got their back no matter what, use šāāļø to convey that emotion.
- If you just watched a movie about the queen's guardsmen, and you're either posting about it or recommending it to a close someone, then you can use šāāļø either in the caption, post, or even a text message.
