Where the ๐ Wheel emoji came from
It arrived with the 14.0 release of the standard, which dates the wheel to 2021.
Same character every time โ U+1F6DE never changed. Only the drawing did, and only because each vendor redraws its own set. Someone on an older phone still sees the older picture.
Wheel was approved as U+1F6DE and shipped in Emoji 14.0 (2021). Phones usually get new artwork about a year after approval, in a system update.
Every vendor keeps its own artwork, so ๐ is redrawn by Apple, Google, Twitter / X, Facebook, OpenMoji, Samsung, Microsoft, WhatsApp, JoyPixels. The character you send never changes โ only the picture does.
