Food Emojis

55 emojis tagged food in the official Unicode CLDR project. Click any emoji for its meaning, copy-paste, and per-platform rendering.

Food emojis cover everything you'd put on a plate, from raw ingredients like 🥭 mango and 🥑 avocado to finished dishes and snacks. Unicode keeps expanding the set as global cuisines get represented — recent additions added bell peppers, blueberries, and pea pods alongside long-standing staples. The category is essential for restaurant reviews, recipe shares, meal-prep captions, and the endless food photography that fills Instagram and TikTok. Some food emojis have also taken on second lives as slang (🍑 🍆 🍒), which is worth knowing before you send a fruit basket in a work chat.

Frequently asked about food emojis

Which food emoji is used most on social media?

🍕 pizza and 🍔 hamburger dominate Western platforms, while 🍙 rice ball and 🍜 steaming bowl lead in Japan and Korea. 🥑 avocado surged with the millennial brunch boom and remains one of the fastest-growing food emojis by year-over-year usage.

Which food emojis have a second slang meaning?

🍑 reads as 'butt', 🍆 as a phallic symbol, and 🍒 as breasts or virginity depending on context — all heavily moderated on TikTok and Instagram. 🌽 (corn) is widely understood as code for adult content because 'corn' sounds like 'porn', a workaround for platform filters.
