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?
Welcome to Emoji. Where everyone follows the standard their own way and not everyone sees the same thing.
For me I see a square with an X through it so I assume my android device does not support that particular emoji yet.
The Unicode standard just specified a “wheel”. A particular amusing (read: drama inducing) case is with the 🔫 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. 🤷
I have an older phone which is probably why i see the wooden wheel. Rubber wheels hadn’t been invented yet.
It would depend on what brand and how old your phone is on Android, for example I think Samsung has its own set of emoji - at least for older phones
It’s an old wagon wheel on Motorola, come on man, you have to know there is more than one android phone
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.
It’s gotta be a mac thing. I switched to my desktop browser which is firefox on win10 and it shows as the car wheel like on ios.
It appears to be a Mac and Chrome thing. I tried Firefox and posted a screenshot of that elsewhere and it is a missing image thumbnail.
You can sell stolen wagons there.
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/
Thanks. I honestly didn’t realize it was that it didn’t support the emoji. I thought the horizontal lines WAS the emoji and I was just not getting what it meant.
Screenshot of this thread on Android so you can see what it looks like for others
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.
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.
