What does it mean when someone uses the emoji?

It probably means that they are thinking about a old man, which totally makes sense given that you just got this emoji in your text or DM.

What else can the emoji symbolize? Does it have any hidden meanings?

There are definitely some hidden meanings for the emoji. The most obvious is that a person using the emoji thinks someone or something is old, which could be a self-deprecating joke as well.

For example, when famous music producer / DJ Calvin Harris got tweeted at regarding being on the charts for 10 years, he said “I can’t find the old man emoji” even though he was only 34 at the time.
