Burger Emoji — Copy and Paste

Tap the hamburger to copy it, or take the whole build-a-burger row - bun, cheese, patty, bacon, fries - and stack them in one line. Codepoints, platform differences and the repeater are below.

Tap any tile to copy it. Nothing is sent anywhere — the copy happens in your browser.

Repeat it 100, 1000 or 10,000 times

The character

🍔 is Hamburger, U+1F354. It shipped in Unicode 6.0 in 2010 with the first large batch of food characters. The official name says nothing about cheese, lettuce or a sesame bun, so everything on the burger is a decision each font vendor made on its own.

Build a burger

None of these is a burger by itself. Stacked in a line they read as one, which is what the sequence is for.

How it renders

Apple draws a sesame bun with lettuce, tomato and a slice of cheese sitting on top of the patty. Google put the cheese underneath the patty for years and moved it above in 2017, in the same round of fixes that redrew its beer glass. Samsung and Microsoft both keep the cheese on top. The Windows set is flatter and more stylised than Apple’s, so the separate layers are harder to pick out at chat size. None of this touches the codepoint: the 🍔 you copy here arrives as whatever burger the reader’s device draws, and you cannot control that from your end.

Burger ASCII and text art

There is no standard ASCII burger the way there is a standard shrug. What circulates under that name is usually a multi-line block that only lines up in a monospace font and collapses in a chat box. One-line versions survive anywhere:

  • (::[]::) – bun, patty, bun, seen edge on
  • [==(|)==] – wider, with the patty in the middle
  • (:=:) – the short version, for a bio line

All three are plain ASCII punctuation, not Unicode food characters, which is exactly why they still work in fields that reject 🍔 outright.

Where it breaks

Emoji are refused by many username and display-name fields, and older databases that were never moved to four-byte UTF-8 store the burger as a question mark or truncate the rest of the string. Screen readers announce the character by its short name, once per character, so a row of ten burgers is read out ten times – send one. If you want the long line anyway, the repeat tools will build it. Next door: fries, hot dog, and the full food emoji list.
