Who sent the lemon and what came before it change the reading more than the emoji itself does.
What 🍋 means in other countries
Mostly the literal fruit or a sour-flavor cue, though “a lemon” is also American slang for a defective product.
Calling something “a lemon” — especially a car — means it’s a bad purchase, prone to problems.
Read literally, for cooking, drinks or a sour-taste reaction, no idiom implied.
Before you send it: Safe for food and flavor contexts; only ambiguous if you’re also discussing a purchase gone wrong.

Where the 🍋 Lemon emoji came from
When it was approved, which release it landed in, and how long phones have had it.
Same character every time — U+1F34B never changed. Only the drawing did, and only because each vendor redraws its own set. Someone on an older phone still sees the older picture.
Lemon was approved as U+1F34B and shipped in Emoji 1.0 (2015). Phones usually get new artwork about a year after approval, in a system update.
Every vendor keeps its own artwork, so 🍋 is redrawn by Apple, Google, Twitter / X, Facebook, OpenMoji, Samsung, Microsoft, WhatsApp, JoyPixels. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
