Iโ€™ve seen it a few times now and I have no idea what itโ€™s supposed to mean.

For that matter, I donโ€™t know what itโ€™s supposed to mean period.

Same in Jerboa for Android.

Yes, Iโ€™m aware this may differ depending on your specific brand of Android phone. ๐Ÿคท

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 hadnโ€™t been invented yet.

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 โ€œwheelโ€. A particular amusing (read: drama inducing) case is with the ๐Ÿ”ซ emoji: Unicode specified it as โ€œPistolโ€, 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.

https://emojigraph.org/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 โ€œreinventing the wheel.โ€

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

So itโ€™s either a Chrome thing or a Mac and Chrome thing.

Donโ€™t hate, I have to have Chrome for work and itโ€™s a pain to run two separate browsers. Iโ€™ll end up doing that eventually when my adblockers no longer work though.

So itโ€™s either a Chrome thing or a Mac and Chrome thing.

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

It works fine in Firefox.

Inspecting it, here on my instances Feddit.de rendered theme shows two fonts in use - a fallback for the emoji because I assume Lato does not include it:

Itโ€™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.

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 โ€œrollingโ€.

If your OS doesnโ€™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 didnโ€™t realize it was that it didnโ€™t support the emoji. I thought the horizontal lines WAS the emoji and I was just not getting what it meant.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that itโ€™s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.
