While the literal image is a tool, its usage in Gen Z slang is generally metaphorical for decisive action. There are no common explicit sexual double meanings for this emoji itself.
There's generally no concern regarding explicit sexual content when your child uses the 🪓 emoji. However, like any emoji representing a weapon, if it's consistently used in genuinely threatening or aggressive contexts, especially in combination with other aggressive emojis (like 🔪🩸), it's a sign to open a calm conversation about their feelings or online interactions.
