crutch

crutch meaning

A crutch, added in Emoji 14. 0 as part of the accessibility set. It represents mobility aids, injury and recovery. Figuratively it means something you lean on more than you should — an emotional crutch — though that usage is worth handling carefully, since it treats a genuine mobility aid as a metaphor for weakness.
