Man (1F468), Medium-Light Skin Tone (1F3FC), Probing Cane (1F9AF), and Rightwards Arrow (27A1). The ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner, represented by 200D) is used to combine these emojis into a single emoji.

Beyond its primary use, this emoji can symbolize overcoming challenges, resilience, or independence. It can be used to express positive sentiments like courage, determination, and the ability to navigate through difficult situations.
This emoji holds cultural significance as it promotes representation and inclusivity for visually impaired or blind individuals. Its introduction is part of a broader effort by Unicode to provide more diverse and inclusive emojis. However, its usage might not be as widespread as more generic emojis.
