Who sent the lime and what came before it change the reading more than the emoji itself does.

What 🍋🟩 means in other countries
Reads as a plain citrus garnish nearly everywhere, mostly tied to drinks and Latin American cooking staples.
Default garnish reference for margaritas, mojitos or beer with a lime wedge.
A kitchen staple used constantly in everyday dishes, not just as a drink garnish.

11 — History
Where the 🍋🟩 Lime emoji came from
It arrived with the 15.1 release of the standard, which dates the lime to 2023.
Same character every time — U+1F34B U+200D U+1F7E9 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.
Lime was approved as U+1F34B U+200D U+1F7E9 and shipped in Emoji 15.1 (2023). 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, OpenMoji. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
