What ♂️ means
The Mars symbol, a circle with an arrow pointing up and to the right. It stands for male, men, or masculinity.
♂️ appears in health and fitness posts, biology, and labels for men's events. Its quieter role is inside emoji sequences: added to 🙋, it makes 🙋♂️, a man raising his hand.
When ♂️ shows up on its own right after a person emoji, the device failed to combine them.
