Person kneeling facing right: medium-dark skin tone Emoji
People
A figure with medium-dark skin depicted in a kneeling position, oriented toward the right. The character is shown with their legs folded underneath them, reflecting a posture of submission, rest, or physical grounding.
Usage Context
This emoji is frequently used to represent prayer, meditation, or showing respect. It is also commonly used in conversations about exhaustion, such as 'kneeling' after a long day, or paired with 🙏 to emphasize a request or act of gratitude.
History
While the kneeling person was added in Emoji 12.0 in 2019, the ability to specify directional movement and skin tone combinations was expanded in 2020. This evolution was part of a broader push to ensure that human-centric emojis better reflect the variety of ways people interact with their physical environment in digital communication.
