What the genie 🧞 (female genie 🧞♀️, male genie 🧞♂️) emoji means
🧞 is the genie: a blue figure rising from a lamp in a curl of smoke, arms folded. It means wishes, magic, “your wish is my command” — “if I had a 🧞 I’d wish for…”, Aladdin references, granting a request. 🧞♀️ woman genie (the “female genie” people look for) and 🧞♂️ man genie are the gendered forms; genies do not take skin tones because they are blue. Added in Emoji 5.0 (2017). There is no magic lamp on its own — 🪔 diya lamp is the nearest — and ✨ sparkles supplies the magic.
