For me it's the first emoji for LAN which doesn't display.

Anyway, if we really want to reinvent Chinese with emoji hieroglyphs, than I'd rather go for 🛹🏘️ or 🫁

"Long" explanation

My rather long (sic) family name Langsdorf translates to long-s-village (sic-sic) or more directly "long-s-thorp"

German tends to introduce "s" as a connector in compound words (compare Saint PeterSburg°).

Hence the first half ends on "GS" which is almost homophone to "X", and capital X was stylish in the age of LaTeX and Linux and Unix.

So LanX is pronounced like "lungs" with an "angry voice" aka standard German accent.

°) Tsar Peter (the Great) wanted to attach his empire closer to Europe, so he chose a German name for his new capital. Most cities on the Baltic sea where heavily Hanseatic anyway. The Russian version is "Sankt-Peterburg" (Санкт-Петербургъ) without s.
