Old Man

An elderly man with gray hair and sometimes glasses or a mustache, depending on the platform.

The 👴 Old Man emoji is used to represent an elderly male figure. It’s typically associated with grandfathers, senior citizens, wise mentors, or anyone older with traditional masculine features.

It can be used affectionately in family contexts, respectfully in discussions of aging or care, or humorously when referencing someone acting “old”—even if they’re not.

Older generations tend to use it sincerely when referring to aging or grandparents. Younger users might use it more playfully or sarcastically—like when joking about creaky joints or outdated habits.
