Evolution

How its meaning shifted

  1. 2010

    This emoji did not exist in 2010; gender-neutral emoji concepts were not yet part of Unicode's roadmap and Santa Claus representation was entirely binary.

  2. 2015

    Still nonexistent; the emoji was not introduced until later. General Santa Claus emojis dominated holiday emoji usage with no gender-neutral alternatives.

  3. 2020

    Newly introduced around this period, gaining traction primarily in LGBTQ+ communities and among inclusive design advocates. Usage was niche but meaningful.

  4. 2026

    Moderately established in progressive and LGBTQ+ digital communities; used in inclusive holiday communications by brands, creators, and individuals globally, though still far less common than traditional Santa emojis.
