What does π΅ Person Mountain Biking emoji mean?
The Person Mountain Biking emoji π΅ depicts a person riding on a mountain bike, a bicycle designed to be ridden in rough terrain. It is commonly used to represent mountain biking, bicycles, and biking in general, the outdoors, and exercise.
Like the Person Biking emoji π΄, the Person Mountain Biking emoji π΅ is sometimes used to refer to major cycling events, such as the world famous annual Tour-de-France bicycle race. However, this usage is less common as cycling races typically do not use mountain bikes. Both emoji are used to celebrate World Bicycle Day on June 3.
Where does π΅ Person Mountain Biking emoji come from?
The Person Mountain Biking emoji π΅ was approved under Unicode 6.0 in 2010 as Mountain Bicyclist. On most major platforms, the emoji depicts a person wearing cycling attire riding a mountain bike in front of a mountain. The color of the bicycle and the riderβs clothing varies depending on the platform. The Apple and WhatsApp versions of the emoji depict the spokes of the bicycle and portray the rider with sunglasses and gloves. The Google, Samsung, and Twitter versions of the emoji are identical to their versions of the Person Biking emoji π΄ with only a mountain added behind the rider. The Microsoft and WhatsApp versions are nearly identical to their Person Biking emoji π΄ with slight changes to the rider and bicycle and an addition of a mountain in the background.
The Person Mountain Biking emoji π΅ may be confused with the Person Biking emoji π΄, although the two emoji are often used interchangeably or together. The Person Mountain Biking emoji π΅ is more often used to refer to off-road cycling or outdoor sports. It is less likely to be used than the Person Biking emoji π΄ to refer to cycling races, as those events typically do not involve mountain bikes.
