Man walking: medium skin tone Emoji

People

A figure of a man with medium-toned skin captured mid-stride, shown from the side in a neutral walking position. He is dressed in simple clothing, representing the universal act of pedestrian movement.

Usage Context

Used to describe commuting, taking a stroll, or heading out to a specific location. People often use it to indicate they are on their way somewhere or to describe a casual pace, sometimes pairing it with 🏃🏽‍♂️ to show a faster speed or 🚗 to compare walking versus driving.

History

The walking figure was first standardized in Unicode 6.0 in 2010. The gendered and skin-toned variations were added in later updates—specifically Unicode 7.0 and 8.0—as part of a major push to ensure the digital human figure better reflected the diversity of actual people using mobile messaging apps.
