  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.

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

      I have an older phone which is probably why i see the wooden wheel. Rubber wheels hadn’t been invented yet.

        I have an even older phone, which is probably why I see a rectangle with a cross through it

      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 was joking.

  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.
