Person Wearing Turban emoji. It depicts a person with a turban on their head, which is a type of headwear commonly worn in many parts of the world, particularly in South Asia and the Middle East.

Non-romantic or non-obvious uses of the emoji could include using it to represent wisdom or spirituality, as turbans are often associated with spiritual leaders in certain cultures.
