Read the full guide

Three turbans, eighteen with the skin tones

Man wearing turban is four code points: the turban emoji, a zero width joiner, the male sign and a variation selector, U+1F473 U+200D U+2642 U+FE0F. The woman swaps in the female sign, U+2640. A skin tone goes straight after U+1F473, before the joiner.

What Unicode says about it

The names list adds one note to U+1F473: it may or may not be shown bearded. CLDR, Unicode’s list of search words, files turban under these three emoji and no other, and files none of them under hat. One more character has TURBAN in its name: βΌ±, KANGXI RADICAL TURBAN.

  • Turban and 🌷 Tulip are one word twice: Wiktionary traces both to Persian dulband.
  • A dastar is a turban worn by Sikhs, by Wiktionary. CLDR files Sikh under one emoji, πŸͺ― Khanda.

Questions and answers

Which is the man with turban emoji?

Two fit. MAN WITH TURBAN is the Unicode character name of U+1F473, the first tile, now listed as Person wearing turban. Since Emoji 4.0 there is also Man wearing turban, the same emoji joined to the male sign.

Is the turban man emoji one character?

The first tile is: U+1F473 alone. Man wearing turban is a joined sequence, sent and drawn as one emoji, and a skin tone adds one more code point.

Is there a turban man emoticon typed in plain characters?

Wikipedia’s list of emoticons has none. Read sideways, @:-) is a face under a wound cloth, and @:-{) adds a moustache.

Does the woman wearing turban come in skin tones?

Yes, five, like the person and the man. That makes 15 toned turbans beside the three yellow ones, and the emoji list gives each its own line, such as woman wearing turban: medium skin tone.
