What 🧙♂️ man mage means
Santa, angels, and the 2017 batch of fantasy figures - 🧙, 🧚, 🧛, 🧜, 🧝, 🧞, 🧟 - which Unicode added as a set with man, woman and neutral variants. They get used for Halloween and tabletop games, but also metaphorically: 🧚 for something whimsical, 🧟 for how you feel before coffee, 🦸 for anyone who did you a favor.
Unicode tags this one fantasy, mage and magic and files it under People & Body → Fantasy.
