🏋️♂️Man Lifting Weights Emoji
🏋️♂️ man lifting weights — U+1F3CB U+FE0F U+200D U+2642 U+FE0F, added in Emoji 4.0 (2016). Unicode groups it with the other 43 athletics emojis under People & Body.
What 🏋️♂️ man lifting weights means
Sports figures, used for match talk, workout posts and the occasional metaphor - 🏋️ for effort, 🤹 for juggling commitments, 🏄 for coasting through something. Unicode 9.0 in 2016 filled the obvious gaps with 🤸, 🤼, 🤽, 🤾 and 🤹, and most entries here now come in man, woman and gender-neutral forms built from one base figure.
Unicode tags this one barbell, bodybuilder and deadlift and files it under People & Body → Athletics.
