Person in manual wheelchair facing right: medium skin tone Emoji
People
A person with medium skin tone sitting in a standard manual wheelchair, oriented toward the right. The design clearly shows the seat, wheels, and frame of the chair as a mobility aid.
Usage Context
This emoji serves as a direct way to discuss accessibility, mobility, and inclusive travel. It is frequently used to highlight or request wheelchair-accessible venues, events, or transport. It functions similarly to the more generic ♿ symbol but provides a human-centered representation of the person using the device.
History
This character was added in Unicode 12.0 in 2019. It was part of a major initiative by the Unicode Consortium to improve representation of people with disabilities, following years of user requests to move beyond generic icons toward more inclusive and descriptive depictions of daily life.
