I've seen it a few times now and I have no idea what it's supposed to mean.

For that matter, I don't know what it's supposed to mean period.

I see a modern car wheel on Memmy iOS.

    So far, we've got an old fashioned spoke wheel, a modern car wheel and a bunch of lines. What the heck?

    The Unicode standard just specified a "wheel". A particular amusing (read: drama inducing) case is with the πŸ”« emoji: Unicode specified it as "Pistol", but depending on your font (and version), it can either appear as a water gun, or a musket or revolver.

    Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), all major vendors have now switched over to a water gun, so no more amusing forum threads cases by the different meanings.

    So in addition to the interpretation being unclear, there is also no real standard for emoji.

    Same in Jerboa for Android.

    Yes, I'm aware this may differ depending on your specific brand of Android phone. 🀷

    Liar, Jerboa on Android is showing an old wooden wheel.

    Displayed as a classical wooden wheel for a dray or modern car wheel with a tire depending on the platform. May be used in the context of "reinventing the wheel."

    That is so weird. And I just tried it on Firefox and got this:

    So it's either a Chrome thing or a Mac and Chrome thing.

    Don't hate, I have to have Chrome for work and it's a pain to run two separate browsers. I'll end up doing that eventually when my adblockers no longer work though.

    So it’s either a Chrome thing or a Mac and Chrome thing.

    Neither really, it's a font thing. I see a wooden wheel in the page title, a car wheel in my tab bar, and it's missing in the window title.

    It is the special group club for advanced Linux users. Like Disney's Club 33. You have to know Pam, offer hash, and keep a secret shadow file to get in.

    Appears to be an old fashioned wooden spoke wheel. A cart wheel, as in, the wheel of an old cart. Connotations would presumably be mostly related to "rolling".

    Oh weird. That's totally not what I see. Maybe it's a Mac thing?

    This is what I see:

    If your OS doesn't support the emoji, it shows an empty or placeholder image. If you see that icon, you can copy it to clipboard and paste to search here: https://emojipedia.org/

    Not all others. Another person said it's a modern car wheel for them.

    I saw, and now I think it's by app for us on phones, then, as my normal android emoji keyboard has a completely different set of wheels when look at them in other apps. I use Connect and see a wagon wheel, the other guy is on Memmy and sees a modern one, kinda curious what the other apps see

    I see a box with a cross in the middle, as in the icon for "unsupported icon" . I imagine it's the same for you.

    I'm on android.
