Person standing

Person standing Emoji

People

A full-body silhouette of a person standing upright, facing forward with their arms at their sides. The figure is neutral and lacks specific gender or clothing markers.

Usage Context

Used to denote someone who is waiting, physically present, or remaining still. It is frequently employed in digital conversation to indicate that a user is 'just standing there' while waiting for a response, or to signify a baseline human presence, often paired with emojis like 🚶 to show movement or 🧘 to contrast states of activity.

History

Added to the Unicode standard in 2019 as part of Emoji 12.0, this figure was introduced to fill a gap in human representation. Before its arrival, users had to rely on gendered or specific action-based figures, making this a useful addition for indicating a neutral, static position in text-based communication.
