What the witch 🧙♀️ and wizard 🧙♂️ (mage) emoji means
🧙 is the mage — Unicode’s word so that one emoji covers witches and wizards. 🧙♀️ woman mage is the witch emoji: pointed hat, staff or wand, sometimes a green face; 🧙♂️ man mage is the wizard emoji, drawn as a bearded Gandalf-style figure. They mean magic, witchcraft, Halloween costumes, wizard fandoms and, playfully, being good at something uncanny (“kitchen witch 🧙♀️”, “Excel wizard 🧙♂️”). Added in Emoji 5.0 (2017), all take skin tones. Their tools: 🪄 magic wand, 🔮 crystal ball, 🧹 broom and 🧪 potions; the whole spooky set is on the Halloween list.
