👨‍🦳

Man: White Hair Emoji 👨‍🦳

What 👨‍🦳 means

A general description of a man's face with white hair, white eyebrows, and a white mustache too. Given the amount of white or rather grey facial hair, the 👨‍🦳 emoji might refer to an old man.

However, grey is not always the crown of old age, it can also refer to fashion, younger men with grey hair, and most importantly, the endearing salt & pepper look.

This emoji is available in the designated skin tones almost across all platforms.

How and when to use it

If you're referring to an aged man who's not a Grandfather, use 👨‍🦳 as a way of describing him.
You can also use 👨‍🦳 if you're referring to a mature man (someone you're also attracted to, of course) in your private chats with close friends.
👨‍🦳 can also be used as a reaction to some blissful salt and pepper hair that you came across on social media, along with lots of hearts and other cute emojis.
BTW, 👨‍🦳 does not refer to grandad, it's just a man with white/grey hair, so please refrain from using it in that reference.
If you're recommending the salt pepper or just white/grey look to someone, use 👨‍🦳 in that conversation.
