What Does the ๐ guard Emoji Mean?
A guard in a tall black bearskin cap and red tunic, the uniform of the British Army regiments that stand sentry at royal palaces. Tourism supplies most of the association, along with the long-running game of trying to make one react. The figure reads as London rather than as soldiering, which is not quite what the uniform is for.

About guard Emoji
Usage: Travel posts about London use it, as do messages about the royal family and British institutions generally. It also stands in for stoicism, applied to someone keeping a straight face under provocation. Vendors draw it with a range of skin tones and both genders, and it supports the usual modifiers.
Encoded in Unicode 6.0 in 2010 as part of a set of occupational figures inherited from Japanese carriers. Its presence is a small curiosity: a very specific British ceremonial uniform made the original international emoji vocabulary while most of the world's uniforms did not.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the guard emoji represent?
A British Army sentry in bearskin cap and red tunic, the uniform worn at royal palaces. It reads as London and British ceremony rather than as soldiering generally.
Why is a British guard in the emoji set?
It came through the Japanese carrier icon sets that emoji grew from, where a handful of internationally recognisable figures were included. The specificity is a historical accident.
Can ๐ have different skin tones?
Yes. The character supports the standard skin tone modifiers, and gendered variants exist as joined sequences built from the base figure.
