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

Woman

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.

Emoji Modifier Fitzpatrick Type-1-2

Zero Width Joiner (ZWJ) is a Unicode character that joins two or more other characters together in sequence to create a new emoji.

View&nbsp;<a href="/emoji-zwj-sequence/" title="Emoji ZWJ Sequences">Emoji ZWJ Sequences</a>&nbsp;that use this character.

Zero Width Joiner

A school building with multiple storeys, and a clock on the front. A place that children or teenagers attend for their education.

This emoji tends to spike in use in September when many Northern Hemisphere countries&#39; schools reopen after their&nbsp;<a href="/summer">summer</a> holidays.

Previously displayed&nbsp;on <a href="/microsoft/windows-10/school/">Windows </a>as&nbsp;a collection of school-related items: an <a href="/red-apple/" title="🍎 Red Apple">apple</a>, <a href="/straight-ruler/" title="📏 Straight Ruler">ruler</a>, and <a href="/pencil/" title="✏ Pencil">pencil</a>.

Teacher: Light Skin Tone

Man Teacher: Light Skin Tone

Woman Teacher: Light Skin Tone

A yellow face with furrowed eyebrows looking upwards with thumb and index finger resting on its chin. Intended to show a person pondering or deep in thought.&nbsp;Often used to question or scorn something or someone,&nbsp;as if saying Hmm, I don&#39;t know about that. Tone varies, including earnest, playful, puzzled, skeptical, and mocking.

May be paired with <a href="/thought-balloon/">💭 Thought Balloon</a> or <a href="/light-bulb/">💡 Light Bulb</a> to represent&nbsp;thinking, (having) ideas, and learning.

Joins <a href="/hugging-face/">🤗&nbsp;Hugging Face</a>, <a href="/shushing-face/">🤫&nbsp;Shushing Face</a>, and <a href="/face-with-hand-over-mouth/">🤭&nbsp;Face With Hand Over Mouth</a> as one of the few smileys featuring a hand.

Thinking Face

A smiling yellow face with glasses, often with teeth showing, originally buck teeth on most platforms.

While this emoji is often used by people calling themselves nerds in a self-deprecating way, the nerdy glasses paired with buck teeth can, and often does, evoke anti-Asian stereotypes. The fact that the default color of emoji faces is yellow further pushes this emoji into racist &quot;<a href="https://hyperallergic.com/189200/asians-meet-new-yellow-emoji-with-frowny-face/">yellowface</a>&quot;&nbsp;territory.

Some platforms have redesigned nerd face&nbsp;over time to not have buck teeth, perhaps in acknowledgement of the harm this imagery&nbsp;may cause. Google, Facebook, WhatsApp, and JoyPixels <a href="/google/android-7.0/nerd-face/">originally</a> <a href="/facebook/2.0/nerd-face/">featured</a> <a href="/joypixels/4.0/nerd-face/">designs</a> with buck teeth but have since changed (or completely removed) the teeth on nerd face.

Apple, Twitter, Microsoft, Samsung, and other platforms still use designs for this emoji that include buck teeth.

Nerd Face

100 emoji: the number one-hundred, written in red, underlined twice for emphasis.

Originating from the number 100&nbsp;written on a school exam or paper&nbsp;to indicate a perfect score&nbsp;of 100 out of 100.&nbsp; Teachers in Japan may&nbsp;also&nbsp;use a <a href="/white-flower/" title="💮 White Flower">stamp</a>&nbsp;in addition to the 100 mark, to indicate&nbsp;that a student has performed very well.

This 100&nbsp;emoji&nbsp;is commonly used as a shorthand for 100%, with the usage meaning &ldquo;keep it real&rdquo; or a similar sentiment. A 100 emoji can be used to express pride or general acceptance of an idea.

In <a href="/snapchat/" title="👻 Snapchat Emoji Meanings">Snapchat</a>, the 100 emoji appearing next to a <a href="/fire/" title="🔥 Fire">fire emoji</a> indicates a 100 day Snapstreak.

Also used between words to show that a lesson is being learned and to indicate someone is taking notes. For example, ✍️look✍️both✍️ways✍️before✍️you✍️cross✍️the✍️street. This use&nbsp;was popularized in <a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/what-happens-in-the-tiktok-comments/">TikTok comments</a>. It uses the established practice of placing emojis between words for emphasis. Possibly influenced by the emphatic use of <a href="/clapping-hands/">👏 Clapping Hands</a>, which reflects speech-gesture pairings in Black English in the United States.

Writing Hand

A human brain, shown in pink on most platforms. Used to indicate thinking or the human mind.
