About this emoji
♂️ Male Sign is an emoji in the Symbols group, gender subgroup, first released in Emoji 4.0 (2016).
CLDR, the Unicode project that supplies emoji names in many languages, gives it the English keywords male, man and sign; that is what emoji keyboards match when you search.
It is the character ♂ (U+2642 MALE SIGN) followed by the variation selector U+FE0F, which asks for the colourful emoji style. Without the selector, many systems show a plain text symbol instead.
Its base character has an HTML name: ♂. On its own the entity may render as a text symbol; follow it with ️ for the emoji style.
