Unicode Version 17.0
⛷
U+26F7 "⛷" Skier is a pictographic representation of a person skiing, typically shown in a dynamic pose with ski poles and skis, often used in digital contexts to symbolize winter sports, skiing activities, or mountain recreation. It was added to the Unicode Standard as part of the Miscellaneous Symbols block in version 5.2, released in 2009.
