What the 🕷️ emoji means
A black spider seen from above. Two uses, and they barely overlap: the seasonal one around Halloween and the literal one — the thing on the bathroom wall right now.
In October it appears with 🕸️ and 🎃 as decoration. The rest of the year it is a report, and the message it accompanies usually asks someone else to come and deal with it.

Where the 🕷️ emoji is used
The 🕷️ smiley copies in one tap and pastes into a chat as text, not as a picture: it is a Unicode symbol, so it works the same in WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and in a post caption. Every platform draws emoji its own way — below you can see how spider is drawn in the open Noto, OpenMoji and Twemoji sets.
