boy

The boy emoji represents a young boy. It is used when talking about a son, younger brother, or a young boy in general.

It is often used when talking about school or daycare. This emoji is also used to express a cute and lively feeling.

This emoji has evolved with updates to various hairstyles and skin tones, moving beyond gender stereotypes. Recently, several versions have been added to reflect our multicultural society.

Among Gen Z, it's used not only to refer to a boy but also to express "innocence" or "spirit." It's especially popular among K-pop fans, who use it affectionately to refer to young male idols.
