Who sent the banana and what came before it change the reading more than the emoji itself does.
What 🍌 means in other countries
Its shape makes it one of the default phallic-joke emoji, and separately it has an ugly history as a racist prop against Black athletes.
read as a sexual reference alongside eggplant and peach
bananas thrown or referenced at Black players is a documented racist act, so the emoji can echo that
just means the fruit, no extra meaning implied

Where the 🍌 Banana emoji came from
This one is older than Unicode emoji: Japanese carriers were drawing it on their handsets years before the standard existed, which it finally joined in 2010.
Same character every time — U+1F34C 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.
Long before Unicode had emoji, Japanese carriers shipped their own picture sets.
🍌 existed there as
NTT DoCoMo E744, KDDI au EB35.
Those codes are why it survived into the standard at all — Unicode had to keep Japanese messages readable.
Banana was approved as U+1F34C and shipped in Emoji 0.6 (2010). Emoji 0.6 is the original 2010 batch that came over from the Japanese sets.
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.
