What πŸ‘¨β€πŸ¦―β€βž‘οΈ means

This is the right-facing version of πŸ‘¨β€πŸ¦―, and the meaning is the same. People use it in posts about visual impairment, white cane awareness, accessibility, inclusive design and personal experiences of low vision. Some people use it as a joke for "I did not see that" or "I am blind without my glasses". That joke is common, but some blind people find it careless, so it is safer in light, self-directed humor. The direction is mostly a layout choice, for example to show someone walking toward text or another emoji.

In texting

Among friends it is sometimes a joke about missing something obvious or not seeing a message. In serious talk it simply refers to someone who is blind or uses a cane.
