There are different emoji meanings for spider web in different cultures:

- Strongly associated with pool/billiards, gambling, and the phrase 'behind the eight ball' (meaning in a difficult situation).
- East Asian culture
- Also recognized as a billiard ball, but perhaps less ingrained with the 'behind the eight ball' idiom specific to Western billiards culture.
