Person walking: dark skin tone Emoji

People

A silhouette of a person in mid-stride, depicted with a deep, dark skin tone. The figure is shown from the side, frozen in a natural walking position with one leg forward and arms swinging to match the pace.

Usage Context

Used to describe commuting, taking a walk, or heading somewhere on foot. It is frequently sent to signal that the user is currently mobile, running errands, or enjoying a casual stroll. It is often paired with transit-related icons like 🚗 or location markers like 📍.

History

The base walking emoji appeared in Unicode 6.0 in 2010. The option to modify this figure with skin tones was introduced later in 2015 as part of the Emoji 1.0 update, which aimed to increase representation by allowing users to select specific skin tone modifiers for human figures.
