Merman Emoji
What does the Merman emoji mean?
A half-fish, half-human figure wielding a trident — an iconic image used to represent the magical humanoid beings that dwell in the ocean’s depths.
The merman emoji is the male counterpart to the mermaid. He’s usually shown with a yellow face and a fish tail instead of legs, holding a trident — the detail that sets him apart, since the trident evokes Poseidon, the god of the sea.
Mermaids and mermen belong to a mythical oceanic race. If you’re a man, this emoji is a fun way to show your love for swimming or your connection to the sea.
