Bacon Emoji

Food

Two strips of fried, crispy bacon featuring alternating layers of pinkish-red meat and white fat. The strips are depicted with a slight char, suggesting they have just been pulled from a hot skillet.

Usage Context

This emoji is the go-to choice for discussing breakfast menus, brunch plans, or expressing a love for savory cured meats. It frequently appears alongside 🍳 for a classic breakfast plate or 🥞 for a weekend meal, and is often used in internet culture to denote a high-protein diet or specific dietary preferences.

History

Bacon was added to the Unicode standard in 2016 as part of Unicode 9.0. Its inclusion followed a massive, multi-year grassroots campaign by meat enthusiasts and internet communities who felt that the lack of a bacon icon was a glaring omission in the digital food landscape.
