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.

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. Screenshot of emoji with modern car wheel in Connect app

That’s what it is for me on iphone using Firefox, the modern wheel.

On iOS it’s a modern car wheel strangely enough

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.
