What does the 🛞 emoji mean on Lemmy?
I've seen it a few times now and I have no idea what it's supposed to mean.
For that matter, I don't know what it's supposed to mean period.

I see a modern car wheel on Memmy iOS.

So far, we've got an old fashioned spoke wheel, a modern car wheel and a bunch of lines. What the heck?
-
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 🔫 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. 🤷

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.
