Read the full guide

In the UK a wrench is a narrower thing

Wiktionary dates the tool sense from the 18th century and labels it US, Canada and Philippines: a hand tool for fitting nuts and bolts, or pipes. Its UK sense is narrower, a plumber's adjustable spanner. CLDR, Unicode’s list of search words, covers both: 🔧 and 🛠️ are the two emoji under wrench and the same two under spanner.

Kinds of wrench, by name

Unicode has one wrench and no kinds, so the kinds are word tiles. By Wiktionary a monkey wrench has an adjustable jaw, a pipe wrench a toothed jaw for gripping pipe and a torque wrench a torque indicator.

Questions and answers

What does the wrench emoji mean?

Fixing, tightening, adjusting. CLDR files 🔧 under home and improvement, and the only other emoji under improvement are 🔨 Hammer and 🔩 Nut and bolt. As a saying, a wrench in the works is something that disrupts smooth operation, by Wiktionary.

Is there an Alt code for the wrench emoji?

No decimal one: code page 437, which the old Alt codes follow, has no wrench, and 🔧 is number 128,295, past the limit of 65,535. By Wikipedia some apps accept a hexadecimal number and Alt+X instead: the wrench Unicode number is 1F527.

Is there a wrench emoticon?

No standard one, so these are this page’s own, typed with plain keys. C=====O is a combination spanner, open at one end and a ring at the other, and O=====O is a ring spanner.
