🍔 Hamburger is the classic fast-food emoji. People send it when they are hungry, craving junk food, planning a burger night, or celebrating a cheat day.
What does 🍔 mean?
The 🍔 emoji shows a burger with a bun, patty, cheese, lettuce and tomato. Its official name is Hamburger (U+1F354).
Literally, it means a burger or fast food in general. Figuratively, it signals cravings, comfort food, lazy weekends and "let's eat out".
Fun fact: the great cheese debate
In 2017, people noticed that Google's version of 🍔 put the cheese under the patty. The internet argued about it for days, and Google redesigned the emoji with the cheese on top. Today most platforms agree: cheese goes on the meat.
When to use 🍔
- Saying you're hungry: "I need a 🍔 now"

When did 🍔 come out?
🍔 has been around since the beginning of emoji as we know them: it came from the Japanese mobile-phone emoji sets and was officially added to Unicode 6.0 in October 2010. It is one of several fast-food emojis that came with that first set, alongside 🍟 French Fries and 🍕 Pizza.
🍔 on TikTok and Instagram
On TikTok, 🍔 tags mukbangs, smash-burger recipes and "rating every burger in my city" series. On Instagram it is a staple of restaurant stories and cheat-day posts, usually with 🍟 or 🤤.
Is 🍔 easy to misread?
A lone 🍔 with no words can be confusing: is it a craving, an invitation or a reply? Write "🍔 tonight?" so the other person knows you are asking them out to eat.
How 🍔 looks on different devices
🍔 is a standard Unicode emoji. On iPhone, iPad and Mac it appears as Apple's juicy burger with cheese on top of the patty; other platforms show their own designs.
