Where the 🦽 Manual Wheelchair emoji came from
When it was approved, which release it landed in, and how long phones have had it.
Same character every time — U+1F9BD never changed. Only the drawing did, and only because each vendor redraws its own set. Someone on an older phone still sees the older picture.
Manual Wheelchair was approved as U+1F9BD and shipped in Emoji 12.0 (2019). 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, Samsung, Microsoft, WhatsApp, JoyPixels. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
