The character

🌭 is Hot Dog, U+1F32D, added in Unicode 8.0 in 2015. It arrived in the same batch as 🌮 Taco and 🌯 Burrito, which is why all three are missing from the oldest emoji keyboards while the burger and the fries from 2010 are not.

How it renders

Apple, Google, Samsung and Microsoft all draw one sausage in a split bun with a single yellow stripe of mustard. What changes is the angle – some sets lay it flat, some tilt it – and how much bun you see under it. None of that changes what it means, which makes the hot dog one of the safer food characters to send to a phone you cannot see.

What people use it for

Ballpark and cookout posts, stand and truck listings, summer holidays, and – like most long food characters – a suggestive reading that depends entirely on the thread it lands in. You cannot send one and control which reading arrives, so if the message has to stay literal, put a word next to it. 🍺 Beer Mug is the usual partner; that one and the rest of the bar are on the beer emoji page.

Hot dog text art

The shape is easy in one line and impossible in several without a monospace font:

  • (=====) – the bun closed around it
  • [=====] – squared off
  • c[=====] – with the end of the sausage showing

These are plain ASCII, so they work in the username and display-name fields that reject 🌭 outright.

Copy notes

Because it is a 2015 character, the hot dog is missing on hardware that stopped taking updates before then and shows as an empty rectangle there. Screen readers announce it from its short name, once per character, so a row of ten is read ten times. Neighbours: fries, burger, and the full food emoji list.
