Meat on bone Emoji

Food

A piece of meat attached to a large, prominent bone, typically depicted as a cooked, browned drumstick. It represents a hearty, primal meal often associated with roasting or grilling.

Usage Context

This emoji is frequently used to signal hunger, talk about a barbecue, or reference a substantial main course. It is a popular visual shorthand for carnivores and is often used alongside the 🥩 or 🍗 emojis to talk about meat-heavy menus.

History

Included in Unicode 6.0 in 2010, the meat on bone icon became a staple of early emoji sets because of its prevalence in Japanese manga and anime. In those cultural depictions, this specific cartoon-style drawing of a bone-in leg of meat was the standard way to show a character eating a quick, satisfying meal after a long day.
