Person Kneeling

A person kneeling on one or both knees, often interpreted as a gesture of respect or attention.

The 🧎 Person Kneeling emoji depicts a gender-neutral individual kneeling on one or both knees. It may be used to show physical activity (e.g., exercise, sports), reverence (e.g., prayer, ceremony), or symbolic gestures (e.g., protest, humility).

It is commonly seen in discussions about kneeling in solidarity, meditation, service, or readiness. In digital culture, it’s also used in exaggerated or humorous ways—such as “begging for mercy” or symbolizing emotional surrender (“I'm on my knees”).

Its flexibility allows it to express both serious themes (e.g., activism, worship) and playful, dramatic exaggeration.
