Lemon Emoji

Food

A bright yellow, oval-shaped citrus fruit with a small pointed end and a single green leaf attached to its side. It looks exactly like the real-world sour fruit, complete with a textured, bumpy rind.

Usage Context

Used to represent sour flavors, lemonade, or a literal lemon. It is also frequently used in slang to describe something that is disappointing, defective, or a 'lemon' in the context of a bad car purchase. You might see it paired with 🍹 to suggest a drink order or 😬 to react to a sharp, sour taste.

History

Added to the Unicode standard in 2010 as part of Emoji 6.0, this icon was developed to provide a broader range of food items. Its design reflects the standard illustration style found in early Japanese mobile carrier emoji sets, which prioritized recognizable icons for culinary staples.
