The character
Official Unicode name Avocado, codepoint U+1F951, added in Unicode 9.0 and Emoji 3.0 in 2016. It is a single character with emoji presentation by default, so no variation selector is needed. Botanically an avocado is a single-seeded berry; in a kitchen it behaves like a vegetable. That split is why the same fruit gets searched for under both headings, and why it sits with the fruit here.
How it is drawn
Almost every vendor draws it cut: one half, pale green flesh, dark skin at the rim, the round brown stone in the middle. Sets differ on whether the stone stays in the half you see, whether a stoneless half sits beside it, and how dark the skin goes. The convention exists for a practical reason. A whole avocado is a dark green-brown lump that reads as a potato or a fig at message size, and the cut face is the only part of the fruit that is recognizable small.
Because it is a 2016 character, systems with older emoji fonts have no glyph and fall back to a box. That is rarer than it is for the 2018 and 2020 characters, but it still happens inside apps that ship their own frozen emoji set.
The near neighbors
| Character | Unicode name | Codepoint | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🥑 | Avocado | U+1F951 | Emoji 3.0, 2016 |
| 🫒 | Olive | U+1FAD2 | Emoji 13.0, 2020 – young, so fallback boxes are common |
| 🍅 | Tomato | U+1F345 | Unicode 6.0, 2010 – renders everywhere |
| 🥥 | Coconut | U+1F965 | Emoji 11.0, 2018 |
Those four are what people reach for when they want green, savory and in a salad rather than sweet fruit. Note the age spread. Tomato is safe anywhere; Olive is the riskiest of the four to send to a device that has not been updated in years.
What it is used for
- Avocado toast, guacamole, poke bowls, salads – the literal food.
- Keto, paleo and healthy-fats posts, and gym diet talk.
- The running generational joke about what young people spend money on, used with a straight face or with none.
- “You are my better half”, from the two halves of a cut avocado – one keeps the stone, one does not.
Caveats
There is no guacamole character; the usual workaround is the avocado plus something for the bowl. Screen readers announce “avocado” once per character. Username fields commonly reject emoji, and three-byte MySQL utf8 columns cannot store any character above U+FFFF, avocado included.
