Does there exist a Unicode symbol that represents a person? I would expect something like this:
I need a short way to represent a price per person, such as “25€/person”, but with the word “person” replaced with a Unicode character for a person. The benefit will be that the picture isn’t tied to the English language.
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:

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