Person standing: medium-dark skin tone Emoji

People

A figure depicted standing upright with a neutral posture, rendered with a medium-dark skin tone. The character is portrayed in a straightforward, full-body view, making it a neutral way to represent an individual in a static, waiting, or upright position.

Usage Context

Use this to indicate someone is waiting in line, standing their ground, or simply to point out a person's physical presence in a conversation. It works well when paired with location emojis to show where someone is located or standing, or alongside 🧍🏻 or 🧍🏿 to display a group of people.

History

The standing person was added to the Unicode standard in 2019 to provide a more diverse range of human postures. It arrived alongside skin tone modifiers, which allowed users to better reflect human diversity in digital communication, building on the legacy of earlier, more generic human-shaped characters.
