Older Adult 🧓
🧓 (U+1F9D3) is a standard Unicode character that you can copy and paste anywhere text is accepted. This page provides a concise reference with safe tips, internal links, and practical guidance so you can use it reliably across apps and platforms.
What it is and where it’s used: Older Adult is part of the Symbols family (block: Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.
History & usage: The character depicts OLDER ADULT. Use this emoji to convey ideas about aging, elder care, or respect for seniors in chats and UI. In messaging, it can mark topics like retirement, wisdom, or life experience. In interfaces, it helps label sections about senior services, health tips, or community programs. It can support examples in dialogues about family care, planning, or caregiving tasks. Be mindful that appearance varies across platforms, apps, and fonts, so color, style, and detail may differ. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning. If a platform lacks color emoji support, a monochrome or text‑style fallback may be shown. Cross‑platform appearance and accessibility should be tested to keep intent clear.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F9D3 in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
