What does the Gear emoji mean?
1
A round metal gear with toothed edges, commonly used as a general icon for tools.
2
This multi-toothed component, commonly called a pinion or gear, is a key part of many machines. It transmits the rotational force (torque) and adjusts the gear ratio, changing speed and power between connected parts.
You’ll find such parts inside mechanical watches and alarm clocks, in cars and motorcycles, in kitchen appliances, and countless other devices. Figuratively, a gear is often used to illustrate the process of thinking.
