🧂Salt Emoji
The salt emoji 🧂 carries the codepoint U+1F9C2 and has been in the standard since Emoji 11.0 (2018). It belongs to Food & Drink → Cooked / Prepared.
What 🧂 salt means
The everyday meal set: 🍕, 🍔, 🌮 and 🍟 turn up in plans, cravings and restaurant reviews with their literal meaning intact. 🍿 has drifted furthest, now meaning you are watching an argument unfold rather than a film, and 🧂 doubles as calling someone bitter. Google's 2017 burger emoji put the cheese underneath the patty, drew enough complaints to become news, and was redesigned.
Unicode tags this one condiment, flavor and mad and files it under Food & Drink → Cooked / Prepared.
