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.

    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.

        So it’s 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:

        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.
