A person dressed as a ninja with a black hood, a mask covering the lower half of their face, and the hilt of a knife or sword&nbsp;emerging from behind their shoulder.

The now-discontinued Microsoft&nbsp;<a href="/emoji-zwj-sequence/">ZWJ sequence</a>&nbsp;<a href="/ninja-cat/">🐱&zwj;👤&nbsp;Ninja Cat</a>&nbsp;did not include the&nbsp;ninja&nbsp;emoji at all as it was developed several years before ninja&nbsp;was approved. It combined&nbsp;<a href="/cat-face/">🐱 Cat Face</a> and <a href="/bust-in-silhouette/">👤 Bust in Silhouette</a> and was&nbsp;only available from Microsoft prior to the debut of the Fluent emoji set in November 2021.

Ninja

13.0

A cat that is also a <a href="/ninja/">ninja</a>. Used as an <a href="https://news.microsoft.com/life/ninja-cat/">unofficial&nbsp;mascot</a>&nbsp;by Microsoft, and was available&nbsp;in the Segoe Color Emoji font&nbsp;included with <a href="/microsoft/">Windows 10</a>.&nbsp;Ninja Cat was implemented&nbsp;as a proprietary <a href="/emoji-zwj-sequence/">ZWJ Sequence</a> which&nbsp;was not supported by other vendors.
