This is a special emoji that was created after a teenage girl from Saudi Arabia proposed, 'Please make an emoji with a hijab.' It embodies the meaning of respecting diversity.

Besides the hijab, the practice of covering one's hair exists in cultures all over the world, like the tichel in Judaism and the mantilla in Christianity. This emoji is beloved as an icon that symbolizes all women who proudly express their beliefs and identity, going beyond any single religion.
