📖 Meaning & Usage

The ♂️ Male Sign emoji represents the symbol traditionally used to denote the male gender. Visually, it depicts a circle with an arrow pointing diagonally upwards to the right. Its primary meaning is to indicate maleness, masculinity, or men in general. This emoji is commonly used in contexts related to gender identity, sex, relationships, and family. It can also be used metaphorically to represent strength, assertiveness, or traditionally masculine traits. The Male Sign emoji was introduced in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993 and later added as an emoji in Unicode version 4.0 in 2002. The symbol itself has historical roots in astronomy and alchemy, where it was associated with the planet Mars and the element iron.
