🚶Person Walking Emoji
🚶 is the person walking emoji, U+1F6B6, one of 58 in the Activities set. It arrived with Unicode 6.0 (2010) and is commonly used for amble, gait and hike.
What 🚶 person walking means
What a person is doing: walking, running, dancing, climbing, getting a haircut. These carry status updates more than emotion - gym, commute, night out. The 2019 accessibility additions sit here, including the white cane and both wheelchairs, and 2023 added mirrored facing-right versions of the walking, running and kneeling figures.
Unicode tags this one amble, gait and hike and files it under People & Body → Activities.
