“🍆” meaning: eggplant, aubergine Emoji

This is a purple eggplant, a long, bulbous vegetable with a green stem. The emoji🍆 shows a whole eggplant, with a smooth, shiny skin and a curved shape.

The word "eggplant" comes from the 18th century, when European cultivars resembled goose or hen's eggs🥚.

When it comes to the use and symbolism of 🍆, it's a bit of a mixed bag. In its most straightforward context, it can represent the vegetable itself or the dishes with eggplant🍽. It also frequently appears in discussions about healthy eating, vegetarian or vegan diets.

However, there is another use of this emoji that is more widespread than the meaning mentioned above. Among younger generations, it's often used as an innuendo, due to its shape resembling a penis. And it can be used together with other emojis in sexting, such as 🍆💦.
By the way, 🥒 (cucumber) and 🍌 (banana) also have the same usage.
