Iโve seen it a few times now and I have no idea what itโs supposed to mean.
For that matter, I donโt know what itโs supposed to mean period.
I see a modern car wheel on Memmy iOS.
Same in Jerboa for Android.
Yes, Iโm aware this may differ depending on your specific brand of Android phone. ๐คท
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
I have an older phone which is probably why i see the wooden wheel. Rubber wheels hadnโt been invented yet.
Itโs an old wagon wheel on Motorola, come on man, you have to know there is more than one android phone
So far, weโve 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 โwheelโ. A particular amusing (read: drama inducing) case is with the ๐ซ emoji: Unicode specified it as โPistolโ, 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.
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 โreinventing the wheel.โ
That is so weird. And I just tried it on Firefox and got this:
So itโs either a Chrome thing or a Mac and Chrome thing.
Donโt hate, I have to have Chrome for work and itโs a pain to run two separate browsers. Iโll end up doing that eventually when my adblockers no longer work though.
Itโs 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.
maybe like a settings wheel?
It is the special group club for advanced Linux users. Like Disneyโs 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 โrollingโ.
Oh weird. Thatโs totally not what I see. Maybe itโs a Mac thing?
This is what I see:
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 โunsupported iconโ . I imagine itโs the same for you.
Iโm on android.
If your OS doesnโt 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 didnโt realize it was that it didnโt support the emoji. I thought the horizontal lines WAS the emoji and I was just not getting what it meant.
