Crutch Emoji

Objects

A single medical crutch, typically shown in a metallic silver or grey finish with a soft arm pad at the top. It is designed to look like a standard forearm or underarm support used by people with mobility limitations.

Usage Context

Used to signal that someone is injured, recovering from surgery, or dealing with a long-term mobility impairment. It often appears in conversations about physical rehabilitation, sports injuries, or as a way to acknowledge someone’s need for extra support, similar to how one might use ♿ or 🩹.

History

The crutch emoji was added to the Unicode standard in 2021 as part of the Emoji 14.0 update. Its inclusion was a push by the Unicode Consortium to increase the representation of assistive devices and improve the inclusivity of digital communication for people living with disabilities.
