What 🍛 means from a girl or a guy
Who sent the curry rice and what came before it change the reading more than the emoji itself does.
What 🍛 means in other countries
The word “curry” itself is a broad, colonial-era label for many distinct South Asian dishes, so the emoji reads differently by region.
Points specifically to kare raisu, a mild, thick, distinctly Japanese dish unrelated to Indian curry.
“Curry” isn’t one dish there — it covers dozens of regional preparations with no single identity.
Often shorthand for a takeaway order, part of everyday British food culture.
Before you send it: Fine for casual food talk; just don’t assume it points to one specific dish across cultures.
What 🍛 means on TikTok, WhatsApp and Discord
One code point, several readings — where the curry rice lands changes how it is taken.

Where the 🍛 Curry Rice 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+1F35B 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
KDDI au EAB6, SoftBank E341.
Those codes are why it survived into the standard at all — Unicode had to keep Japanese messages readable.
Curry Rice was approved as U+1F35B 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.
