Emoji 5.0

The Unicode standard lists Merman as a fantasy or fictional figure within the people and body group. Few emoji carry as many CLDR keywords as this one's 10, among them creature, fairytale, folklore, and neptune. One shortcode covers it everywhere: :merman:, used by CLDR, GitHub, and Slack alike. In Emoji version 5.0, it became official. Skin-tone versions of it exist too -- 5 in total -- alongside this default rendering.

Skin tones

This character takes the five skin-tone modifiers — 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.

5/5

Five open-licence sets, bundled with this site and served from this origin — 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 — for the rest your browser falls back to the drawing it already uses. This is what Merman 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.
