Man in Motorized Wheelchair: Facing Right Emoji 👨‍🦼‍➡️

What 👨‍🦼‍➡️ means

A man moving in a motorized wheelchair — facing right. The 👨‍🦼‍➡️ Man In Motorized Wheelchair Facing Right emoji arrived in Emoji 15.1 (September 2023) as part of the big directionality update: 108 of that release's emojis exist so people on our keyboards can finally move in both directions.

It mirrors the classic left-facing version, which matters more than it sounds — point an emoji toward the thing you're describing and a sentence suddenly has motion and intent.

How and when to use it

Great for wheelchair life, accessibility wins, and calling out places that still don't have ramps: "New chair arrived and it MOVES 👨‍🦼‍➡️💨"
Point it at what comes next in your sentence — 👨‍🦼‍➡️🏁, 👨‍🦼‍➡️🏠, 👨‍🦼‍➡️✈️ — direction adds meaning.
Combine with its left-facing twin for meet-in-the-middle moments and race commentary.

Seeing a blank box instead of the emoji somewhere? Here's why that happens. Curious why the designs above don't match to begin with? Here's why that happens too.
