🧄Garlic Emoji
🧄 garlic — U+1F9C4, added in Emoji 12.0 (2019). Unicode groups it with the other 19 vegetables emojis under Food & Drink.
What 🧄 garlic 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 flavoring and files it under Food & Drink → Vegetables.
