Meaning and Interpretation
👦 This is the standard emoji for a boy. You use it when you're talking about a male kid, your son, or just to represent 'boy energy' in general. If you're texting about your little bro or a friend's kid, this is the go-to. It's basically the visual way of saying 'boy' without typing it out. Super straightforward.
