What the pregnant man emoji means
π« (pregnant man) and π« (pregnant person) were added in Emoji 14.0 (2021) alongside the existing π€° (pregnant woman), so that pregnancy could be shown for people of any gender, including transgender men and non-binary people. Both have five skin tones. Outside that purpose, people use π« for jokes about a βfood babyβ after a big meal, which is how it appears in most casual messages. Unicode assigns the characters no other meaning.
