In a 2D game there is no real depth. All the object are only aligned on two axes and therefore one surface. In regard of the used camera angle it might be neccessary to create some kind of fake depth so that the player gets a feeling of 3D - or also called 2.5D.
In Unity this can be done very easy based on the Y coordinate. By adjusting the "Transparency Sort Axis" Unity will handle this for you and your player will be able to be in front and also behind objects on your tilemap.

As long as you are not using complex shapes and structures this simple approach should work in most of the cases. But as it is common with tilemaps: a lot will work, but just not everything. Do no despair ;)
