This emoji is more inclusive because it doesn't specify a gender, allowing it to represent non-binary parents or any caregiver who doesn't wish to reveal their gender.

Introduced in 2020 alongside the 👨‍🍼 and 👩‍🍼 emojis, it reflects the global trend of respecting gender diversity. It resonates with many by symbolically showing the universal act of love that is "parenting" without being limited to a specific gender.
