A flag with black and white squares shown in a checkerboard pattern.&nbsp;Used to signal the start or end of a motor car race, though most often used to indicate&nbsp;that the first vehicle within a race has crossed the finish line.

Chequered Flag

A car&nbsp;shown from the side, facing right-to-left. Appears as a red car on almost all platforms (which <a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RedOnesGoFaster">goes faster</a>), though earlier Google designs displayed the vehicle as either <a href="/google/android-11.0/automobile/">silver</a> or <a href="/google/android-7.0/automobile/">blue</a>.

Facebook&#39;s first design for this emoji was also <a href="/facebook/1.0/automobile/">blue</a>.

Automobile

A car&nbsp;being shown from the front. The windscreen and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hood_(vehicle)">hood</a> (bonnet in British English) of the car can be seen&nbsp;facing forward.

Oncoming Automobile

A blue or green Sport Utility Vehicle or station wagon, often with a spare tire on the back. Commonly used as a generic blue or green car.

Sport Utility Vehicle or SUV is an emoji whose meaning was likely lost in translation as it moved from Japanese phone carriers to the Unicode Standard in 2010.

This emoji goes back to the late 1990s when it was <a href="/docomo/1999/sport-utility-vehicle/">included in Docomo&#39;s emoji set</a>. In 2009, it appeared on a <a href="https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2009/09026r-emoji-proposed.pdf">proposal</a> as one of many symbols available on Japanese phones recommended to be encoded into the Unicode Standard. In that proposal, the symbol was referred to as a &quot;recreational vehicle&quot; or RV. The original Japanese emojis look more like station wagons or SUVs than RVs.

At various points, platforms including Google and Samsung showed this emoji as an RV, but ultimately the designs across platforms converged to a car that looks more like an SUV or station wagon. At a small scale this emoji is barely distinguishable from <a href="/automobile/">🚗 Automobile</a> on some platforms.

Recreational Vehicle

A metal wrench (spanner), as used for turning <a href="/nut-and-bolt/">nuts and bolts</a>. Depicted with two open, crescent-shaped ends or one open end and a closed, ring-shaped end. Generally positioned at a 45&deg; angle.

Commonly used for various content concerning tools, building, maintenance, and skilled trades like car mechanics and plumbing.

Wrench

A round metal gear with teeth.

Used to talk about tools and engineering (both hardware and software). Also commonly used to indicate settings on user interfaces.&nbsp;May also represent hard work, e.g., grinding in sports.

Gear

A wheel with a rubber tire.
