What Does the 🥦 broccoli Emoji Mean?
A head of broccoli with a thick pale stalk and dense green florets. Vegetables and healthy eating are the obvious readings, and neither needs any setting up. The vegetable also carries a cultural role as the thing children are made to finish, which has handed it a comic register that carrots and peas somehow never managed to achieve.
