Man standing: dark skin tone Emoji

People

A full-body depiction of a man standing upright with dark skin. The figure is shown in a neutral, relaxed stance, facing forward with arms hanging naturally at the sides.

Usage Context

Used to describe a person waiting, standing in line, or simply being present in a situation. It is frequently employed to emphasize a physical posture or to specify a person's appearance when paired with gender-neutral icons like 🧍 or other variations like 🧍🏽‍♂️.

History

While the base standing figure was introduced in Unicode 12.0 in 2019, the ability to apply specific skin tone modifiers was part of a larger push by the Unicode Consortium to increase human representation, building on the framework established by the 2015 introduction of Fitzpatrick scale skin tone modifiers.
