Leg 🦵

Usage snapshot:

Used in content written with the Common script; suitable for UI labels and body text.
Appears in the Unicode block Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs.

The character LEG depicts a leg. The name contains no HARD SIGN or SOFT SIGN and has no special shape tokens such as ROUNDED or NARROW; its significance is that the word itself signals a single symbolic object in pictographic use. In practical contexts, scholars treat it as a standalone pictograph representing a limb in educational and reference materials. One use is in dictionaries and grammars that illustrate body parts as symbols alongside textual entries. A second use lies in scholarly editions and archival transcription, where the image helps mark anatomy in historical documents or studies. A third use appears in typographic revivals and specimen books, where designers compare the form of the symbol with other body-part pictographs for consistent presentation. If audiences need accessibility, provide alt text that names the object clearly. Across platforms, ensure clear rendering and readable contrast to support screen readers and keyboard navigation.
