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.
Screenshot so you can see it on iOS
Wow yeah, interesting! I'm on Sync/Android and it's a brown wagon wheel for me.
That's crazy
The Unicode standard just specified a "wheel". A particular amusing (read: drama inducing) case is with the π« 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. π€·
Liar, Jerboa on Android is showing an old wooden wheel.
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.
It's an old wagon wheel on Motorola, come on man, you have to know there is more than one android phone
Also wagon wheel on pixel 7
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 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:
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.
It would be a you not having the fonts installed thingβ¦.
You need better fonts.
You can sell stolen wagons there.
Haha unexpected Red Dead Remption
Am I the only one who thought 'Dharma Wheel'?
Hah, me too!
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
Not all others. Another person said it's a modern car wheel for them.
I saw, and now I think it's by app for us on phones, then, as my normal android emoji keyboard has a completely different set of wheels when look at them in other apps. I use Connect and see a wagon wheel, the other guy is on Memmy and sees a modern one, kinda curious what the other apps see
I also use Connect. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, I think it has to do with the emoji collection on the device rather than a specific app.
Thunder here, it's a wagon wheel
Thatβs what it is for me on iphone using Firefox, the modern wheel.
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.
I see a bunch of horizontal lines.
Well, yea, I can see that, but I imagine the bunch of horizontal lines is how your device tells you that it encountered an "unsupported icon".
I don't think so, I see an old spoke wheel on Android running Liftoff.
Rolling as in ROFL?
I mean there is a ROFL emoji already: π€£
I hope it's related to drugs.
I hope it's related to Limp Bizkit.
Looks like a carriage wheel to me

maybe like a settings wheel?
