This emoji is the most basic form representing a male child. It has no specific expression or features, so it can neutrally refer to a 'boy' in various situations.

As part of the original emoji set, it's one of the iconic emojis that existed before various emojis for different races and ages were added. Now, it's used with 👨 (man) and 👴 (older man) to show a person's life stages or to explain family relationships.
