What is an "avatar"?
An avatar is a digital representation or image that represents a person or user online, especially on social media or virtual platforms. It can be a photo, illustration, or custom graphic used as a profile picture or to represent oneself in online communities or games. Avatars are often used to give users a visual identity and can reflect their personality, interests, or virtual persona. For example, a user on a gaming platform might choose a cartoon character as their avatar, while someone on social media might use a personal photo.
Example
She created a colorful avatar to represent her in the online game.
His avatar in the virtual world looked just like him, with similar clothes and hairstyle.
Players can customize their avatar with different outfits and accessories.
