What does 🦵 Leg mean?
Bent at the knee, a bare leg ready to kick or run. It covers kicking, running, knees, stretching and the dreaded leg day at the gym. People use it in physical therapy updates, dance and sports chats, or to mention an injury. Pair it with 🦶 for the whole lower limb, or with 💪 to round out a workout recap. It comes in five skin tones.
🦵 Leg is an emoji from the People & Body category (body parts), added in Emoji 11.0 in 2018. People use it in messages about bent, foot, kick, knee and limb.
