The male version of <a href="/person/">🧑 Person</a>.

A&nbsp;pale skin tone modifier, which can be applied to a range of human emoji characters.

<ul>
	<li>Type 1 on the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzpatrick_scale" target="_blank">Fitzpatrick Scale</a>&nbsp;of skin tones is described as:&nbsp;Pale white; blond or red hair; blue eyes; freckles</li>
	<li>Type 2 on the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzpatrick_scale" target="_blank">Fitzpatrick Scale</a>&nbsp;of skin tones is described as:&nbsp;White; fair; blond or red hair; blue, green, or hazel eyes</li>
</ul>

This is a combination of type 1&nbsp;(pale white) and type 2 (white). Despite the descriptions, Apple&rsquo;s artwork tends to display this type-1-2 skin tone modifier with dark hair.
