Person kneeling facing right Emoji
People
A figure shown resting on their knees, oriented toward the right side of the screen. The design maintains a neutral human form, depicting the physical act of dropping to one's knees.
Usage Context
This emoji is used to represent someone praying, proposing marriage, begging, or showing submission. Because it is a gender-neutral figure, it is a versatile way to convey a variety of physical positions without specifying the person's identity. It is often used in combination with emojis like 💍 for proposals or 🙏 for moments of reverence.
History
This sequence was added in Unicode 13.0 in 2020 as part of an effort to provide more specific body poses in the emoji library. By using the Zero Width Joiner (ZWJ) sequence to combine the kneeling person with a directional arrow, developers provided a way to standardize the orientation of the figure across different platforms.
