What 👷 construction worker means
Jobs and identities, and the largest subgroup in People & Body. Almost all of them are ZWJ sequences: 👨🍳 is literally a man plus a zero-width joiner plus 🍳. The professions arrived in 2016 as man and woman pairs, with gender-neutral versions following in 2019. Used for introductions, career news and dressing-up jokes.
Unicode tags this one build, construction and fix and files it under People & Body → Roles & Careers.
