Person in manual wheelchair facing right: light skin tone Emoji
People
A person with a light skin tone seated in a manual wheelchair, depicted in profile and facing toward the right. The design clearly shows the large rear wheel and the frame of the chair.
Usage Context
Used to denote accessibility, mobility, or the act of navigating a physical space. It is frequently paired with location pins or navigation signs to indicate wheelchair-accessible routes. This specific version is often used alongside the standard ♿ sign to specify that a person is using the equipment.
History
Wheelchair emojis were first introduced in 2005, but they were originally static icons representing accessibility signage. The addition of the person in the chair, combined with diverse skin tones and directional variations, arrived in later updates like Unicode 12.0 to move beyond signage and represent real human mobility.
