👲 Person with skullcap

Meaning

A person wearing a small, rounded traditional cap, often with a button on top, a style historically worn in China. The current English name is gender-neutral, and the emoji is available in several skin tones.

It is mostly used for traditional clothing, Lunar New Year themes, costume parties and historical dramas. As with any cultural emoji, it is best used to celebrate a tradition rather than to mock people: “Grandpa still keeps his old cap for the New Year photo 👲🧧”
