About this emoji

👦 Boy is an emoji in the People & Body group, person subgroup, first released in Emoji 0.6 (2010). Emoji 0.6 is the label Unicode gives to characters that became emoji with Unicode 6.0 in 2010, before emoji had version numbers of their own.

CLDR, the Unicode project that supplies emoji names in many languages, gives it the English keywords bright-eyed, child, grandson, kid, son, young and younger; that is what emoji keyboards match when you search.

It is a single code point, U+1F466, named BOY in the Unicode standard.

Unicode also defines 5 skin tone versions, listed below with their own codes.
