A sign, two chairs, twelve people
CLDR, Unicode’s list of search words, files 15 emoji under wheelchair. ♿ is the sign. Manual wheelchair and Motorized wheelchair are the chairs alone, from Emoji 12.0. The other twelve seat a person, a man or a woman in either chair, each also facing right.
Wheelchair symbol as text
U+267F has two styles, emoji and text. Wheelchair symbol, text style adds the selector that asks for a plain symbol, the wheelchair symbol text a name field takes; some apps draw the emoji anyway. No key types it, so the wheelchair emoticons here are drawn over several lines.
Questions and answers
What does the ♿ emoji mean?
An accessible place. The sign is the International Symbol of Access, which by Wikipedia marks areas with improved access, mostly for people with disabilities: a parking space, a toilet, a door button, a station or a vehicle.
Is ♿ the handicap symbol in text?
It is the sign that search means: CLDR files ♿ under handicap, and a handicapped symbol text is this same character. Wiktionary labels handicapped as sometimes considered offensive, and the sign’s own name speaks of access instead.
Is there an Alt code for the wheelchair symbol?
Not among the old ones: code page 437 has no wheelchair. By Wikipedia, some apps take the decimal number, Alt+9855 on the number pad, and some turn 267F into ♿ when Alt+X follows it.
