Leg: medium-light skin tone Emoji

People

A side-profile view of a human leg bent at the knee, rendered in a medium-light skin tone. It depicts the lower limb from the hip down to the foot.

Usage Context

Used to talk about physical exercise, running, soccer, or recovering from a leg injury. It is frequently sent when discussing fitness routines or to accompany photos of a workout. It is often used in combination with 🏃🏼 to represent movement or ⚽ to suggest a kick.

History

Added to the Unicode standard in 2018 as part of the push to increase anatomical diversity in messaging. The skin tone modifiers were implemented shortly after to ensure the emoji reflected a broader range of human appearances, moving away from the default yellow base used in early mobile messaging.
