A little context
What the ninja emoji means
🥷 (ninja, Emoji 13.0) is a masked figure in black, and it means stealth: sneaking, “ninja’d” (beaten to something), quiet efficiency, and the closest thing to a robber, as the robber emoji guide explains. It has five skin tones. It also stands in for the martial-arts and gaming senses of ninja, with ⚔️ 🗡️ 🥋.
A ninja: stealth, sneakiness or a quick disappearance. It is also used where people expect a robber emoji.
