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 âreinventing the wheel.â
That is so weird. And I just tried it on Firefox and got this: Image
So itâs either a Chrome thing or a Mac and Chrome thing.
Donât hate, I have to have Chrome for work and itâs a pain to run two separate browsers. Iâll end up doing that eventually when my adblockers no longer work though.
So itâs 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 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:
Itâs 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.
You need better fonts.
You can sell stolen wagons there.
Haha unexpected Red Dead Remption
Am I the only one who thought âDharma Wheelâ?
Hah, me too!
It is the special group club for advanced Linux users. Like Disneyâs Club 33. You have to know Pam, offer hash, and keep a secret shadow file to get in.
Debbie can introduce you to Pam. She likes pie.
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 ârollingâ.
If your OS doesnât 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: emojipedia.org
I see a box with a cross in the middle, as in the icon for âunsupported iconâ . I imagine itâs the same for you.
I donât think so, I see an old spoke wheel on Android running Liftoff.
Rolling as in ROFL?
I mean there is a ROFL emoji already: đ€Ł
An secretive elite group of users rumored to be able to obtain the great power of root.
Looks like a carriage wheel to me
maybe like a settings wheel?

I see a modern car wheel on Memmy iOS.

So far, weâve 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.

Same in Jerboa for Android.

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

Itâs an old wagon wheel on Motorola, come on man, you have to know there is more than one android phone

The Unicode standard just specified a âwheelâ. A particular amusing (read: drama inducing) case is with the đ« emoji: Unicode specified it as âPistolâ, 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.
