It is often paired with emojis like 💨 to show high speed or 🏃♂️ and 🏃♀️ for gender-specific variations.
History
Originally added to the Unicode standard in 2010, the running person has become a staple of mobile communication as fitness tracking and health apps gained mainstream popularity on smartphones.
