Men wrestling Emoji

People

Two men locked in a wrestling hold, both wearing singlets. The figures are hunched forward, showing the physical strain and positioning typical of a competitive match on a wrestling mat.

Usage Context

This emoji is used to discuss sports events, physical training, or the act of struggling with a difficult task. It is frequently sent during Olympics coverage or when people want to jokingly represent a heated debate, often paired with 🤼 or 🥊.

History

The wrestling emoji was added to the Unicode standard in 2016 as part of the push to represent more diverse athletic activities. The male-specific version uses the ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequence, combining the base wrestling emoji with the male sign to provide specific gender representation.
