🦳White Hair Emoji
Tagged gray, hair and old, 🦳 white hair sits in Unicode's Hair Styles group inside Components. It was introduced in Emoji 11.0 (2018) at U+1F9B3.
What 🦳 white hair means
Four components rather than standalone emoji: red, curly and white hair plus bald. Each joins a person emoji with a zero-width joiner, so 👩🦰 is a woman followed by the red hair component. They were added in 2018. Alone they render as a lock of hair. There is no blond component; 👱 has covered blond hair since 2010.
Unicode tags this one gray, hair and old and files it under Components → Hair Styles.
