An undercover investigator, wearing a hat, and sometimes using a magnifying glass to closely inspect evidence. This emoji did not originally recommend emoji modifiers, but a proposal was created to address this.

Detective was approved as part of Unicode 7.0 in 2014 under the name “Sleuth or Spy” and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.
