A person walking toward the right, the mirror image of ๐ถ. It means walking, moving on, or heading forward.
Its main use is direction. In left-to-right text a figure facing right seems to go forward, as in ๐ ๐ถโโก๏ธ๐ข for leaving home for work. It reads as progress and momentum rather than a retreat.
On older devices it may split into ๐ถ and โก๏ธ side by side.
