U+1F346 ยท emoji since 2010
The eggplant is a vegetable with a reputation. Ostensibly an aubergine, it became the internet's most famous innuendo years ago.
It still works for actual cooking, ratatouille included, but deploy with awareness: everyone reads the subtext.
Although it is literally an eggplant or aubergine, in texting ๐ is widely used as innuendo for male anatomy. Because of that it often appears with ๐ or ๐ฆ in flirty messages. It still means an actual eggplant in cooking chats, so context matters.
In a flirty conversation, ๐ is almost always suggestive rather than about food. Among friends joking around it can be ironic or silly. If the chat is about recipes or groceries, it just means the vegetable. The surrounding message makes the intent clear.
The ๐ leads off a short phrase, and the rest of the words are written in cipher, every letter disguised as another emoji. Tap decipher to reveal the whole line.
Or make your own cipher in the translator.
