The astronaut emoji (🧑🚀) depicts a figure clad in a white space suit, complete with a reflective helmet, symbolizing exploration and human ingenuity. This emoji is often used to represent space travel, adventure, or the pursuit of dreams beyond Earth. For instance, in a discussion about education, someone might use it to encourage aspirations to "reach for the stars." Interestingly, the astronaut has become a metaphor for stepping outside one’s comfort zone, reminding us that exploring the unknown can lead to great discoveries. The emoji version is 12.1, released in 2019.
