🍌Banana Emoji
The banana emoji 🍌 carries the codepoint U+1F34C and has been in the standard since Unicode 6.0 (2010). It belongs to Food & Drink → Fruit.
What 🍌 banana means
Fruit is the most double-edged food family. 🍑 reads as a backside far more often than a peach — when Apple redesigned it in an iOS 10 beta to look more like real fruit, the complaints were loud enough that the change was reversed. Elsewhere 🍓 and 🍒 do soft aesthetic work, 🍋 does bitterness or resilience, and 🍉 signals solidarity with Palestine.
Unicode tags this one fruit, potassium and files it under Food & Drink → Fruit.
