The character
🥚 is Egg, U+1F95A, added in Unicode 9.0 in 2016. It is a single unbroken shell with nothing around it. Apple, Google, Samsung and Microsoft all draw it white or near-white with a soft shadow, so the differences between platforms are small. The real limitation is size: at chat scale it reads as a plain oval, and on its own it is often unclear what it is.
The one people usually mean
🍳 has the official name Cooking, U+1F373, and comes from Unicode 6.0 in 2010. Every major vendor draws it as a frying pan with a fried egg in it, so in practice it does the job of a fried-egg emoji that Unicode never encoded. Watch the gap between the picture and the label: a screen reader reads the short name, so the listener hears "cooking", not "fried egg".

What does not exist
There is no cracked egg, no boiled egg, no scrambled egg, no egg carton and no separate Easter egg character. 🪺 Nest With Eggs is from 2021 and is by a wide margin the newest thing on this page, which makes it the one most likely to arrive as an empty rectangle on an old phone or an unpatched desktop. Test it before you put it anywhere that has to work for everyone.
Egg ASCII and text art
An ASCII egg is a bracketed round character and not much more: (o), (0) and {o} all read the same way. Anything more detailed needs a monospace font to hold its shape, so it survives in a code block and collapses in a chat box. All three are plain punctuation, which makes them usable in the username fields that refuse 🥚 outright, and in old databases that mangle four-byte characters.
Where the egg turns up
Breakfast posts, recipe lists, baking steps, and menu notes. If you are marking an allergen properly rather than casually, an emoji is the wrong tool – see food allergy symbols for the marks that are actually used for that. The rest of the plate is on the food emoji hub, and the pan’s neighbours – bowls, cutlery, plates – are on restaurant emoji.
