What Unicode symbol represents a person?

Just think of the Emoji block of Unicode. Perhaps the man 👨 at U+1F468 or the woman 👩 at U+1F469 will suffice, but there are also children, older people, etc. Here’s a list of Emoji People. It still depends on your actual use-case.

If other exotics are no issue, take a look at Egyptian Hieroglyphs. There are lots of human pictograms, like 𓀠 at U+13020 and many others. Another generic (even gender-neutral) pictogram might be the symbol for men’s restrooms 🚹 at U+1F6B9, but a charge for restroom use is not desirable. There’s still more, like the pedestrian 🚶 at U+1F6B6 or the bust in silhouette 👤 at U+1F464.

As comprehensive, yet extensible list:

• 👤 U+1F464 BUST IN SILHOUETTE (Block Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs)
• 👨 U+1F468 MAN (Block Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs)
• 🚹 U+1F6B9 MENS SYMBOL (Block Transport and Map Symbols)
• 🚶 U+1F6B6 PEDESTRIAN (Block Transport and Map Symbols)
• 웃 U+C6C3 HANGUL SYLLABLE US (Block Hangul Syllables)
• ꆜ U+A19C YI SYLLABLE HLIE (Block Yi Syllables)
• ጰ U+1330 ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE PHA (Block Ethiopic)
• 𓀠 U+13020 EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH A028 (Block Egyptian Hieroglyphs)

(Use Ctrl++ or off-site styling to distinguish details.)

Depending on platform, the characters might be rendered surprisingly unresembling:

This Korean character U+c6c3 HANGUL SYLLABLE US, looks a bit like your stick figure:

웃

Since it's Korean for "smiling", you just may have to watch out for Koreans getting offended that they're being charged for what should, after all, be common courtesy on your part :-)
