Backstory
This emoji, often referred to as 'Man Lifting Weights' or 'Weight Lifter', is a combination of several Unicode characters: 🏋️ (Person Lifting Weights), ♂️ (Male Sign), and a Zero Width Joiner (ZWJ) to combine them into a single male specific lifting weights character. The base emoji 🏋️ was introduced in Unicode 6.0 (2010), and the male specific sequence was added later to provide gender variations.
