Food & Drink is the group that does practical work: 132 symbols for fruit, vegetables, prepared dishes, drinks and tableware. They are concrete, rarely ambiguous and understood across languages, which makes them useful in orders, invitations and menus. EmojiAll lists each entry with its Unicode name and keywords.

What you will find in this group

The group is organized the way a menu is: fruit, vegetables, prepared food, sweets, drinks and dishware. Each subgroup gathers symbols that are used in the same situations.

Because the meanings are literal, these symbols are among the easiest to use in a second language. You do not need to know the word for a dish to point at it.

How these emoji are used

Food symbols routinely replace dish names in short messages. Asking what is for dinner, confirming an order or describing a meal can all be done with two or three symbols and no text at all.

They are also common in invitations and event posts, where they state what will be served. Restaurants and delivery notes use the same shorthand.

Choosing the right symbol

Pick the symbol that matches what you actually mean. Fruit and vegetable entries are specific on purpose, and swapping one for a similar-looking one will usually be noticed.

For a whole meal rather than an item, the prepared-dish entries work better than a pile of separate symbols. One plate reads faster than five ingredients.

Cross-platform notes

Food artwork varies quite a bit between platforms, especially for prepared dishes, where the same code point can look like different recipes.

If the exact dish matters — in an order, a recipe or a dietary note — write the name next to the symbol.

Emoji copy and paste

Food & Drink holds 132 symbols, and every one of them is ready for emoji copy and paste: pick the entry you need, copy the symbol or its code point, then paste it into whatever you are writing.

On a phone the system keyboard is often the fastest route, but a browser tab is easier when you want a specific variant — skin tone, gender or hair color — that the keyboard buries three taps deep.

Frequently Asked Questions

QHow many emoji are in Food & Drink?: There are 132 symbols on EmojiAll, split into fruit, vegetables, prepared food, sweets, drinks and dishware subgroups.
QCan I use these symbols to place an order?: They are fine as a shorthand between people who know each other, but for a real order always write the dish name as well, since artwork differs across platforms.
QWhy do some dishes look different on other phones?: Every platform draws its own artwork for the same code point. The Unicode name fixes the meaning, not the picture.
QDo drink symbols include alcohol?: Yes. The drinks subgroup covers both non-alcoholic drinks and a few alcoholic ones, so check the Unicode name if the context needs to be clear.
