A person kneeling and facing right, a mirrored form of ๐ง that lets the figure face toward what comes next.
Its best use is in sequences: ๐งโโก๏ธ๐๐ง for a proposal, or kneeling toward ๐ to bow to someone. Because it faces the reading direction, the person seems to turn to whatever follows in the message.
Older devices may show it as ๐ง followed by โก๏ธ.
