A little context
What the muscle emoji means
💪 (flexed biceps) is strength and encouragement: “you’ve got this”, gym posts, recovery, “stay strong”. It is also the flex — showing off — and “muscle”, “strong” and “flex” all point here. 🦾 (mechanical arm, Emoji 12.0) is the cyborg version, 🏋️ the weightlifter. All five skin tones are available for 💪.
Strength or encouragement — “stay strong”, “you’ve got this” — or a flex about an achievement.
Is there a flex emoji?
💪 is it. There is no separate character for flexing.
