Leg: dark skin tone Emoji

People

A dark skin-toned human leg, shown from the knee down to the foot, flexed at the joint. It is a graphic representation of a lower limb, capturing both the calf muscle and the foot in a static, bent position.

Usage Context

Frequently used to represent physical movement, sports, or workouts like running and soccer. It is a common shorthand for describing an injury, someone being on the move, or simply emphasizing a kick, often paired with the ⚽ soccer ball or 👟 running shoe.

History

The leg emoji was added to the Unicode standard in 2018 as part of Emoji 11.0. Skin tone modifiers were introduced shortly thereafter to ensure the emoji accurately reflects human diversity, following the industry-wide move toward more inclusive representation in digital communication.
