Person in manual wheelchair facing right Emoji

People

A person sitting in a manual wheelchair, depicted in profile and moving toward the right side of the screen. The design focuses on the individual's posture and the frame of the chair used for self-propulsion.

Usage Context

Used to discuss accessibility, mobility, or the experience of wheelchair users in public spaces. It is frequently employed to highlight inclusive infrastructure or to represent someone commuting. This emoji is often seen alongside ♿ or 🚶 to contrast different methods of travel.

History

This variant was introduced in Unicode 12.0 in 2019 as part of a major push to increase representation for people with disabilities in digital communication. Before this, users were limited to a single static icon, but the expansion allowed for specific directions and gender-neutral personas to better reflect real-world diversity.
