sandwich Emoji

The sandwich emoji represents a specific food or drink item, commonly used literally in conversation about meals and menus, or informally to signal mood, plans, or cultural/regional identity tied to that dish.

Category context: The Food & Drink category covers fruits, vegetables, prepared dishes, and beverages from cuisines around the world — a category that has expanded significantly over the years as Unicode added more culturally diverse food items beyond early Western-centric selections.

Cataloged under Food Prepared within the Food & Drink category, sandwich is the 88th of 131 emoji How To Type Any Symbol lists in this category, and was introduced in Emoji version 5 of the Unicode Emoji Standard. Technically, it is represented by a single Unicode code point rather than a combined sequence, making it one of the simpler emoji to encode and display reliably across platforms. Its Unicode code point sequence is U+1F96A.

💡 Good to know: For actual nutrition or allergen-related content, always pair this emoji with explicit text rather than relying on the symbol alone, since visual style can be ambiguous or misleading.
