What does 🖱️ Computer Mouse mean?
A computer mouse with two buttons. It stands for clicking, browsing and desktop work, and gamers use it to talk about aim, gear and new peripherals. In instructions it can mean “click here”, and in jokes it sometimes stands in for the cursor itself. It is not an animal: for the furry kind, use 🐁 or 🐭. A rarer relative is 🖲️, the trackball.
🖱️ Computer Mouse is an emoji from the Objects category (computers & electronics), added in Emoji 0.7 in 2014.
