🤾‍♂️

Man Playing Handball Emoji 🤾‍♂️

What 🤾‍♂️ means

A full-body profile of a man wearing a handball gear, flying above the ground, with his feet swept off and the ball held in the shooting hand, aiming for a smash, while the other arm is held up for support.

The 🤾‍♂️ Man Playing Handball emoji refers to the indoor and outdoor sport of handball. It signifies the ultimate 'smash' used in handball while aiming for a win or a point. But, it can also suggest 'slam dunk' in basketball.

This emoji is available in the designated skin tones on almost all platforms.

How and when to use it

Use 🤾‍♂️ in the caption or within the tweet while sharing the live score from a handball game or the final scoreboard from a championship or tournament.
If you're posting a picture or video either of you playing handball along with your team or that of the team you support, you can use 🤾‍♂️ in the post caption.
If you have an active handball social media handle, that posts the latest news, updates, winners, trophies, etc, you can tag the 🤾‍♂️ emoji in those post captions.
🤾‍♂️ can also be used in gaming contexts. So, the next time you either start a thread for a video of your own game or a repost of someone else's, you can use 🤾‍♂️ if it's a good game and not a losing one.
You can be 🤾‍♂️ in the post caption while sharing pictures of a newly inaugurated sports facility either in your campus or your locality (ensure, handball is an added game, tho).
If you're posting a picture of you playing basketball either with your homies, your kids, or a repost of someone else smashing a slam dunk, then you can use 🤾‍♂️ in such captions too.

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.
