The Deaf Woman emoji (🧏♀️) depicts a deaf woman and belongs to the People & Body category of the Unicode emoji standard. It is a widely recognised symbol that works across modern devices and platforms. Its official Unicode assignment is U+1F9CF U+200D U+2640 U+FE0F, introduced with Emoji 12.0 in 2019. Once your system has an updated emoji font, the character renders consistently wherever you paste it. Gestures and body emojis like this one add human action to text. They are used to say hello, signal agreement, show support, or mime an activity that would otherwise require a full sentence. In busy threads a single hand or person emoji can replace several words and still be understood. On Apple, Google, Samsung, Microsoft and other vendors the artwork differs slightly — colour palette, shading, and line weight change — but the core concept of deaf woman stays identical, so the emoji remains universally readable. You can copy this emoji as the character itself (🧏♀️), as an HTML entity (🧏♀️), or as a shortcode (:deaf-woman:) for platforms like Slack, Discord, and GitHub.
This detailed meaning was written by the UseEmoji editorial team after reviewing Unicode CLDR data and real-world usage. For quick identification, think of this emoji as shorthand for deaf woman — it conveys that idea faster than words while keeping the message friendly and scannable.
