Person in Manual Wheelchair: Facing Right Emoji 🧑‍🦽‍➡️

What 🧑‍🦽‍➡️ means

A person rolling in a manual wheelchair — facing right. The 🧑‍🦽‍➡️ Person In Manual 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 sport, independence, and everyday representation: "Marathon training, week 6 🧑‍🦽‍➡️ shoulders of steel."
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.
