Meaning and Interpretation
👨🦯 This guy isn't just out for a stroll—he's navigating the world in his own way. At its core, it's THE symbol for blindness or visual impairment (part of the accessibility emoji set, you know, for rep). But online, we use it way more figuratively. Feeling totally lost in class? 👨🦯 Can't find your way around a new app? 👨🦯 It's basically the visual version of saying "I'm blind to this" or "I need a guide for this situation." It's a humble and sometimes humorous way to admit you're clueless or in need of direction.

- Blindness / Visual Impairment
- Needing Guidance or Help
