This specific emoji sequence did not exist in 2010; general disability representation was minimal in emoji sets, limited to a basic wheelchair symbol.
Still pre-existing as this specific ZWJ sequence; basic wheelchair emoji existed but skin tone and gender variations were not yet standardized.
With expanded ZWJ sequences and disability emoji additions around 2019-2020, motorized wheelchair emojis became available, though directional variants came later. Used primarily in genuine disability representation contexts.
Now used in both sincere disability advocacy and as a mainstream 'moving forward/rolling on' metaphor; disability creators have significantly normalized and reclaimed this emoji in online culture.
