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.
