🥷Ninja Emoji
🥷 is the ninja emoji, U+1F977, one of 82 in the Roles & Careers set. It arrived with Emoji 13.0 (2020) and is commonly used for assassin, fight and fighter.
What 🥷 ninja 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 assassin, fight and fighter and files it under People & Body → Roles & Careers.
