Among the people and body group's emoji, Deaf person is catalogued as a person shown gesturing. It is tagged with 6 CLDR keywords -- accessibility, deaf, ear, and gesture, for instance -- that describe its common uses. Its shortcode is :deaf_person:, the same in CLDR, GitHub, and Slack. Version 12.0 entered the Unicode Emoji standard. This is the default form; 5 skin-tone variants are also available.

Skin tones

This character takes the five skin-tone modifiers โ€” set one in the menu and every copy picks it up. Each form is its own sequence with its own codepoints and its own page.

Five open-licence sets, bundled with this site and served from this origin โ€” not fetched from anyone and not the drawings on your own device. Each one is credited on Licenses, which is a condition of using them.

Rendered by your fonts

The pictures above are this site's own bundled artwork; these are your device's. Each cell below asks your browser for one emoji font by name, so you will see a real difference only for the fonts installed on this device โ€” for the rest your browser falls back to the drawing it already uses. This is what Deaf person will look like wherever you paste it. If a cell shows an empty box, this device's emoji font has no glyph for it yet; that is the font, not the character.
