Old Man

The old-man icon represents an elderly man, originating from Twitter's emoji library. This icon features a stylized illustration of an older adult male, often used to symbolize wisdom, experience, or age in digital communication. The old-man emoji is commonly used to add a touch of maturity or seniority to messages, comments, or social media posts.

In software and digital platforms, the old-man icon appears in interfaces where age or seniority needs to be conveyed, such as in user profiles, healthcare applications, or educational platforms. For instance, it might be used to represent an elderly user in a profile picture or to indicate seniority in a team.

From a UX perspective, the old-man icon communicates a sense of wisdom and experience, adding a touch of maturity to digital interactions. It helps users quickly understand the age or seniority of others in a digital context.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds OldManIcon to components/icons/twemoji-old-man.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed OldManIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.
