Man Walking: Facing Right Emoji 🚶‍♂️‍➡️

What 🚶‍♂️‍➡️ means

A man strolling steadily — facing right. The 🚶‍♂️‍➡️ Man Walking 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 step-counting, commuting on foot, and evening walk content: "10k steps before lunch 🚶‍♂️‍➡️ new record."
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.

How it looks across platforms

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.
