U1F469

U+1F469 is the Unicode code point for the emoji character WOMAN, an adult female. On most platforms it renders as a pictograph depicting a woman's silhouette or face, commonly shown as the emoji 👩. The character is used to represent women in text, messages, and user interfaces.

Encoding and blocks: U+1F469 is part of the Emoticons block of Unicode (U+1F600 to U+1F64F) and was added in Unicode version 6.0, released in 2010.

Presentation and modifiers: By default it presents as an emoji on modern systems, but a variation selector (U+FE0F) can request emoji presentation, while U+FE0E requests text presentation. The base character can be combined with skin tone modifiers (U+1F3FB through U+1F3FF) to yield diverse appearances. It also participates in ZWJ-based sequences to form gendered or profession-related emoji, such as female variants in compound emoji with other symbols.

Usage: The character denotes an adult female and is used in contexts about gender, family structure, diversity, and demographics. It is also used in lists, profiles, and accessibility labels.

Rendering and availability: Rendering varies by platform and font. While widely supported, some older systems may display a simple monochrome glyph or omit the character entirely. Unicode continues to expand its emoji repertoire, including modifiers and sequences that alter the appearance.
