Woman kneeling facing right: medium-dark skin tone Emoji

People

A woman with medium-dark skin depicted in a kneeling position, facing toward the right. This character combines the kneeling person emoji with a female gender sign and an arrow to indicate directionality.

Usage Context

Used to denote a person resting on their knees, waiting, or practicing religious or meditative postures. It is frequently sent to indicate a state of prayer, submission, or exhaustion. It is often used alongside 🙏 or 🧘🏾‍♀️ to further describe physical positions or states of mind.

History

This variation was made possible by the introduction of Zero Width Joiner (ZWJ) sequences in Unicode 9.0, which allowed for the layering of gender and skin tone modifiers onto existing base emojis. This specific sequence was finalized in 2019 to improve representation and allow users to signal movement or orientation.
