What the hiking boot 🥾 (hiking) emoji means
🥾 is the hiking boot: a brown lace-up boot with a thick sole. It is the hiking emoji — trails, summits, weekend walks, thru-hikes — and the closest thing to a hiker, since no person-hiking emoji exists (🚶 walking and 🧗 climbing are the nearest people). Added in Emoji 11.0 (2018), it pairs with ⛰️ mountain, 🏕️ camping, 🧭 compass and 🎒 backpack. In captions a single 🥾 means “went for a hike”; 🥾🥾 means a long one.
