🥦Broccoli Emoji
The broccoli emoji 🥦 carries the codepoint U+1F966 and has been in the standard since Emoji 5.0 (2017). It belongs to Food & Drink → Vegetables.
What 🥦 broccoli means
Vegetables are where innuendo is most concentrated: 🍆 almost never means dinner, and 🥒 gets pulled the same way. Unicode's formal name for U+1F346 is AUBERGINE; eggplant is the CLDR label. Straight uses survive too — 🥑 for brunch, 🥦 for eating well, 🌶️ for spicy in both the culinary and the suggestive sense, 🧄 and 🧅 for cooking posts.
Unicode tags this one cabbage, wild and files it under Food & Drink → Vegetables.
