Fork and knife Emoji

Food

A silver fork resting next to a knife, angled diagonally as if ready for a meal. This icon represents standard western dining utensils and the act of eating.

Usage Context

History

Included in Unicode 6.0 in 2010, this emoji was adopted to standardize how mobile devices displayed dining concepts, replacing older, proprietary Japanese telecom graphic sets that often featured regional or specific styles of flatware.
