Where the 🥒 Cucumber emoji came from
It arrived with the 3.0 release of the standard, which dates the cucumber to 2016.
Same character every time — U+1F952 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.
Cucumber was approved as U+1F952 and shipped in Emoji 3.0 (2016). 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.
