Woman with white cane facing right: medium-dark skin tone Emoji
People
A woman with medium-dark skin holding a white cane while walking toward the right. The cane is extended forward, showing a person navigating their surroundings with an assistive device.
Usage Context
This emoji is used to represent visually impaired women, accessibility, and the act of navigation. It is frequently employed in discussions about disability rights, inclusive technology, or as a way to denote someone who is blind or has low vision. It is often used alongside other accessibility icons like 🦯 or ♿.
History
This emoji was added in 2019 as part of Unicode 12.0 to expand the diversity and inclusivity of people-based characters. It combines the existing woman emoji with the probing cane symbol using a ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequence, reflecting the industry's shift toward creating more representative and customizable character sets.
