About
The Older Person emoji (๐ง) is your go-to for honoring the wisdom holders and story keepers in your life. Whether you're texting about grandparents, acknowledging sage advice, or playfully calling yourself ancient after discovering a TikTok trend you don't understand, this emoji carries both respect and gentle humor. It's the digital equivalent of saying 'with age comes wisdom' while simultaneously admitting you needed help setting up your smart TV.

Added in 2018 as part of Unicode's push for more age-inclusive representation, recognizing that emojis had been heavily skewed toward younger people despite older adults being among the fastest-growing demographics on social media.
