What the people wrestling 🤼 emoji means
🤼 is people wrestling: two figures grappling, one lifting the other. It means wrestling — Olympic freestyle and Greco-Roman, WWE and pro wrestling, jiu-jitsu and grappling — and, playfully, a scuffle: siblings fighting over the remote, “wrestling with this decision”. 🤼♀️ women wrestling and 🤼♂️ men wrestling are the gendered forms. Added in Emoji 3.0 (2016), it is one of the few people emoji that does not take skin tones, because it shows two people. The rest of the combat set — 🥊 boxing glove, 🥋 martial arts uniform, 🤺 fencing — is on the sports emoji list.
