Older Person

A gender-neutral elderly person with gray hair and glasses.

The 🧓 Older Person emoji is a gender-inclusive representation of an elderly adult. It’s typically used to refer to aging, grandparents, wisdom, experience, or generational topics in a respectful and inclusive way.

It avoids specifying “grandpa” or “grandma” and instead works as a general symbol for seniors, caregivers, retirees, or older mentors. In some contexts, it may be used humorously to describe feeling old or dealing with age-related changes—even by younger people joking about aches or outdated habits.

Its inclusive design supports accessibility and non-stereotypical conversation around aging.
