“🫙” meaning: jar Emoji

This emoji 🫙 is an empty glass jar with a metal lid that has a screw-top and a label🏷 attached to the jar. It was released in September 2021 and can not currently display normally on all platforms.

The jar is a container for storage and preservation of food. It is based on the mason jar, which was invented by John Landis Mason, a tinsmith from New Jersey, in 1858. He patented a jar with a threaded neck and a rubber ring on the lid that created an airtight seal. This made home canning easier and safer, as it prevented the growth of bacteria🦠 and mold in the preserved food.

🫙 can represent jars or similarly shaped containers. Also, it's commonly used in conversations about cooking, canning, or any discussion involving items that are typically stored in jars. It can be used together with food emojis to represent various condiments, such as🌶🫙hot sauce, 🍅🫙 ketchup or 🥜🫙Peanut Butter.

It can also indicate something that is contained, sealed, or hidden in a jar. For instance, someone might use the jar emoji to hint at a surprise gift that they have prepared in a jar, such as cookies🍪, candy🍬, or jewelry. Or they might use it to describe their feelings or thoughts🗨 that they keep bottled up inside.
