People Emoji Meanings 👶

Next to Smileys emojis, People emojis are naturally some of the most used in the catalog. While it hasn’t always been this way, emoji developers have worked hard to diversify the types of people emojis available to users. There is still a long way to go, but almost every emoji is customizable based on skin color, gender and more. This level of customization makes it crucial to know exactly what the emoji means. 

To make things easier, we’ve broken up the main people emojis into these five categories: 

  • People emoji meanings
  • Family and friends emoji meanings
  • More people emoji meanings
  • Body part emoji meanings
  • Clothing and accessory emoji meanings
