🧊Ice Emoji
🧊 is the ice emoji, U+1F9CA, one of 20 in the Drink set. It arrived with Emoji 12.0 (2019) and is commonly used for cold, cube and iceberg.
What 🧊 ice means
Drinks mostly organize social plans. ☕️ proposes a low-stakes meeting or signals the morning; 🍻 and 🥂 mark a celebration; 🍷 has become shorthand for winding down. ☕️ also carries the Kermit “but that's none of my business” sense when it follows a pointed observation. 🧋 bubble tea landed in Emoji 13.0 and 🧉 mate in 12.0.
Unicode tags this one cold, cube and iceberg and files it under Food & Drink → Drink.
