Currently studying at a school, college, or university, plainly stated
Signals that someone is new to a particular field, skill, or subject
Light self-deprecating “still learning this” tag added to a comment

13 — History
Where the 👨🎓 Man Student emoji came from
When it was approved, which release it landed in, and how long phones have had it.
Same character every time — U+1F468 U+200D U+1F393 never changed. Only the drawing did, and only because each vendor redraws its own set. Someone on an older phone still sees the older picture.
Man Student was approved as U+1F468 U+200D U+1F393 and shipped in Emoji 4.0 (2016). Phones usually get new artwork about a year after approval, in a system update.
Every vendor keeps its own artwork, so 👨🎓 is redrawn by Apple, Google, Twitter / X, Facebook, OpenMoji. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
