What Does the ๐ melon Emoji Mean?
A pale green melon, usually drawn cut to show the flesh, with netting on the rind. Most platforms render a cantaloupe or a muskmelon rather than a honeydew. It is one of the quieter fruit emoji, with none of the loaded secondary meanings that attach to the peach, the aubergine or the banana. Nobody has ever had to think twice before sending it, which cannot be said for much of the fruit section.

About melon Emoji
Usage: Food and recipe posts use it straight, for fruit salads and summer eating. In Japanese contexts it carries a specific weight, since premium musk melons are a serious luxury gift and can sell for extraordinary sums at auction. Elsewhere it mostly just means melon, which is refreshingly uncomplicated.
Encoded in Unicode 6.0 in 2010 from Japanese carrier sets, where melon has a cultural standing it lacks in the West. A single Yubari King melon, grown in Hokkaido, has sold at auction for several million yen, which is a real figure and not a translation error.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of melon is ๐?
A muskmelon or cantaloupe on most platforms, shown with netted rind. Honeydew and watermelon are not what this character depicts, though people use it loosely for both.
Why are melons expensive in Japan?
Premium varieties are grown as gifts, not groceries, with each plant often bearing a single fruit. Yubari King melons have reached several million yen at auction.
Is ๐ the same as ๐?
No. This is the netted-rind melon eaten as a dessert fruit, while the other is a watermelon slice with red flesh and black seeds, drawn quite differently.
