Eight emoji filed under cane
CLDR, Unicodeโs list of search words, files cane under eight emoji: ๐ฆฏ, six of people carrying it (a person, a man and a woman, each also facing right) and ๐ฉผ Crutch. Crook leads to ๐ช Hook alone, and staff to โ๏ธ Medical symbol alone.
A white cane is not a walking stick
By Wikipedia, a white cane is a device many blind or visually impaired people use, to scan what is ahead and to be recognized by others. A walking stick is an aid to walking, so for that sense ๐ฉผ is the nearer emoji: it is filed under stick and mobility.
Questions and answers
Is there a walking stick emoji?
Not by that name. No emoji is named walking stick or walking cane, and CLDR files nothing under either. The combo Walking cane puts ๐ฉผ after ๐ง Older person, and ลฟ, the long s, is a cane in one plain letter.
What does the ๐ฆฏ emoji mean?
A white cane, which CLDR files under blind and accessibility. With a person it is ๐งโ๐ฆฏ, ๐จโ๐ฆฏ or ๐ฉโ๐ฆฏ. By Wikipedia, October 15 is White Cane Safety Day in the United States.
Is there a candy cane emoji?
No. CLDR files candy under four emoji and none is a cane. By Wikipedia a candy cane is stick candy, cane-shaped, typically white with red stripes, so the combo here is ๐ญ๐, Lollipop then Christmas tree, and the typed one is โญโฐโฑโฐโฑโฐโฑโฐโฑ.
