What ๐ง๐พโโ๏ธ means
The literal use is for climbing as a sport: gym walls, bouldering, outdoor crags and mountains. The tone is energetic and positive. As a figure of speech, people send it for climbing the career ladder, pushing toward a goal, or an uphill struggle like a long exam season. It can be motivating or a bit self-mocking, as in climbing my way out of this inbox. It is more about effort and progress than ๐๏ธ, which only shows the mountain. The man version is one of three options. The sender's choice of man, woman or person does not change the meaning.

At work
