A little context
What the spider emoji means
🕷️ (spider) and 🕸️ (spider web) are Halloween staples and general creepiness — and the web doubles as “dusty”, for an abandoned account or an old thread (“this group chat 🕸️”). Both are text-style symbols with variation selectors, so they can render as plain black glyphs. 🦂 is the scorpion, 🐜 the ant, 🦇 the bat from the bat emoji guide.
A cobweb: Halloween, or something neglected and dusty, like an inactive account.
Why is my spider emoji black and white?
🕷️ is a text-style symbol; some apps draw it plain without the variation selector.
