What is 🦱️ called?
🦱️ is called the Curly hair emoji.
Also known as the curly-haired component, curls, or curly-hair modifier. It represents a broad range of curly and coiled textures rather than one exact curl pattern.
What does 🦱️ mean?
🦱 is officially named curly hair. It is an emoji component representing curly or coiled hair texture, mainly used inside ZWJ sequences that create people with that hair characteristic.
Use it when discussing the component itself, emoji construction, or selecting a matching person emoji. It may display as a standalone hair-shaped swatch, but its primary purpose is to combine with person, woman, or man bases rather than act as a complete portrait. Related choices include 🧑🦱 Person curly hair and 👩🦱 Woman curly hair.
Other meanings
It can mean curly hair, a curly hair emoji component, hair appearance, avatar customisation, character design, or the corresponding person-emoji variant.
Example Usage
Choose the curly-hair version 🦱
The avatar needs a coiled hairstyle 🦱
