🍈Melon Emoji
🍈 melon — U+1F348, added in Unicode 6.0 (2010). Unicode groups it with the other 20 fruit emojis under Food & Drink.
What 🍈 melon 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 cantaloupe, fruit and files it under Food & Drink → Fruit.
