Wheelchair Symbol Emoji ♿

What ♿ means

A blue square icon with a white symbol of a person sitting on a circle cut on two ends, indicating a wheelchair. The person seems to be stretching an arm towards the back, to push the wheel.

The ♿ Wheelchair Symbol emoji represents a 🦽 Manual Wheelchair. This emoji suggests the availability of a wheelchair and the fact that a particular event or any such situation is wheelchair friendly.

How and when to use it

While sharing informative content or announcements of an event that focuses on wheelchair users, ♿ is a must. For instance, "We have smooth ramps to ease the journey! ♿", or "We've got you covered if you've forgotten your wheelchair at home! ♿".
♿ also represents the availability of an accessible washroom/bathroom - if this fits into the post or repost you're sharing, you may include this emoji.
Using a wheelchair is often taken for a "disability". You could use ♿ to bash ableism and bring about education. For example, "I use a wheelchair, and that doesn't stop me from kicking your ego ♿" or "I'm not "disabled", I just need an extra pair of wheels ♿".
Bringing ♿ into any context would either indicate that the user is a wheelchair user or that the subject of the context is either about wheelchairs or wheelchair users; be it a social media profile name, bio, caption, story, text message, anything.

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.
