Person in manual wheelchair facing right: dark skin tone Emoji

People

A dark-skinned person sitting in a manual wheelchair, depicted in profile and facing toward the right. This character uses a standard push-rim chair, emphasizing physical mobility and active movement.

Usage Context

This emoji is used to discuss accessibility, transportation, or the daily experiences of wheelchair users. It is frequently paired with icons like the ♿ wheelchair symbol or the 🚶 person walking emoji to highlight inclusive infrastructure or to distinguish between different modes of transit.

History

Wheelchair emojis were originally represented solely by the static international symbol for access. The person-specific manual wheelchair was introduced in Unicode 12.0 in 2019 to provide more descriptive, human-centric options, with skin tone modifiers added shortly after to better reflect the diversity of the global disability community.
