Fork and knife with plate Emoji

Food

A silver fork and knife placed on either side of a white plate. This icon represents a standard place setting used during a meal in a restaurant or at home.

Usage Context

Used to signal that it is time to eat, to suggest making dinner plans, or to indicate that a user is hungry. It is a common way to coordinate lunch meetings or share photos of prepared food, often appearing alongside 😋 or 🥘.

History

Added to the Unicode standard in 2010, this emoji was designed to bridge the gap between simple text menus and visual food blogging. It mimics the universal signage found in hotels and travel guides that indicates dining facilities are available on-site.
