🛢️Oil Drum Emoji
Tagged drum, oil, 🛢️ oil drum sits in Unicode's Ground Transportation group inside Travel & Places. It was introduced in Unicode 7.0 (2014) at U+1F6E2 U+FE0F.
What 🛢️ oil drum means
The largest travel family, and lopsided: more than a dozen separate rail characters survive from the Japanese carrier sets, including 🚝 monorail, 🚞 mountain railway and 🚋 tram car, which almost nobody sends. Daily use concentrates on 🚗 and 🚕 for getting somewhere, 🚨 for urgency or an announcement, and 🚧 for anything unfinished. 🦽 and 🦼 came later, in Emoji 12.0's accessibility batch.
Unicode tags this one drum, oil and files it under Travel & Places → Ground Transportation.
