“🧟” meaning: zombie Emoji

Introducing the "🧟" emoji, more commonly known as the Zombie Emoji. The emoji showcases an undead creature in tattered clothing, super skinny, its skin a ghoulish shade of green or gray, signaling a departure from the world of the living. Many versions of this emoji show it with vacant eyes and a lopsided, dazed expression.

The concept of zombies originated in Haitian Vodou (or voodoo) culture. The word “zombie” is said to come from the Haitian Creole word “zonbi”, means "a person who died and was then brought to life without speech or free will". They are known for their insatiable hunger for human brains and their walk among the living, and have been a staple in the horror genre, gaining widespread recognition through books, movies, and video games.

Generally, the Zombie emoji is used to symbolize themes related to horror, Halloween🎃, and the supernatural. It can also stand for someone feeling 'brain-dead', exhausted, or working nonstop, similar to a mindless, relentless zombie.

In everyday chat and across social media platforms, the Zombie Emoji can express your fear, disgust, or fascination with zombies or horror movies. Some people may also use this emoji to refer to the Halloween season or the Walking Dead TV show. It can be also used when someone is feeling lifeless or drained, suggesting a lack of sleep or energy, drawing a parallel to the undead state of a zombie🧟.

The Zombie Emoji also features gendered counterparts - the "🧟‍♀️" (Woman Zombie Emoji) and the "🧟‍♂️" (Man Zombie Emoji). You can also change up the skin tone to suit your need.
