Backstory
This is a ZWJ sequence, combining 'Person with White Cane' (1F9CE), 'Female Sign' (2640), and 'Right Arrow' (27A1). The 'Person with White Cane' emoji was introduced in Unicode 12.0 (2019) to represent people with visual impairments. The addition of the female sign specifies gender, and the right arrow can imply progress, movement, or heading towards a goal, making it a very specific and informative emoji.
