Feature request: some context, history and/or example of popular usage.

Some symbols leave me with more questions than answers, like “LEFT HALF RUNNING MAN”[1].

I’d like to at least see that it’s a glyph part, that there are two in total, and what does the other half look like; right now the “right half running man” is not listed anywhere on that page, not even in the “related symbols” section.

Off topic, the running man symbol possibly comes from MouseText character set (the one in the Apple IIc[2]). It was one of many character sets included in the legacy computing block[3].
