Man walking facing right: dark skin tone Emoji
People

Usage Context
Used to describe commuting, taking a stroll, or heading toward a specific destination. People often use it to indicate they are leaving a conversation or physically traveling somewhere. It functions as a partner to faster-paced movement icons like 🏃 or can be paired with directional arrows to emphasize a path forward.

The base walking emoji was introduced in Unicode 6.0 in 2010. The system for applying skin tones, known as Fitzpatrick modifiers, was added in 2015 to allow for better representation of human diversity across digital platforms, evolving from the original generic yellow characters.
