Where the 🚶♀️ Woman Walking emoji came from
When it was approved, which release it landed in, and how long phones have had it.

Woman Walking was approved as U+1F6B6 U+200D U+2640 U+FE0F and shipped in Emoji 4.0 (2016). Phones usually get new artwork about a year after approval, in a system update.
Every vendor keeps its own artwork, so 🚶♀️ is redrawn by Apple, Google, Twitter / X, Facebook, OpenMoji. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
