👵

Old Woman Emoji 👵

Center-parted white hair pulled into a loose bun, glasses, and a few soft wrinkles — the face of an older woman, roughly grandmother age. It stands in for grandmothers and elderly women directly, used in family posts and birthday messages far more often than as any kind of slang.

What 👵 means

This old woman, probably in her 70s, has a few facial wrinkles, wears glasses, and keeps her center-parted hair loosely tied in a bun.

It is available in the designated skin tones on almost all platforms.

Most times, an old woman is a symbol of great wisdom, tolerance, care, learning, and an overall skill to stand strong through the winds of life. So, you can use 👵 to signify wisdom, knowledge, and the characteristics mentioned above in your chats.
