What is 🥷️ called?

🥷️ is called the Ninja emoji.

Also known as shinobi, stealth warrior, or masked ninja. Shinobi is a genuine alternative term; “assassin emoji” is too narrow because that is not the official meaning.

What does 🥷️ mean?

🥷 is officially named ninja. It depicts a ninja: a covert warrior or agent associated with Japanese history, later folklore, theatre, films, games, and popular culture.

Use it for stealth, martial arts, secrecy, silent movement, hidden plans, costumes, or ninja characters. “Shinobi” is a historical Japanese term often used as an alternative, while many familiar black-clad ninja images come from later storytelling rather than a complete picture of history. Related choices include 🥋 Martial arts uniform and 🤫 Shushing face.

Other meanings

It can mean stealth, secrecy, martial arts, a hidden identity, moving quietly, a surprise plan, agility, a ninja costume, or the fictional shinobi archetype.
