What ๐ฅ means from a girl or a guy
Who sent the bacon and what came before it change the reading more than the emoji itself does.
What ๐ฅ means in other countries
A breakfast staple in the West, but pork is off-limits for observant Muslims and Jews, so it isnโt neutral everywhere.
Pork is forbidden (haram / not kosher), so the emoji can feel pointed rather than casual.
A default breakfast food with no second thought attached.
Before you send it: Fine among people you know eat pork; skip it as a default โfoodโ emoji in mixed company.

The character is the same everywhere, but the artwork and the reading of it change from app to app.
Where the ๐ฅ Bacon emoji came from
When it was approved, which release it landed in, and how long phones have had it.
Same character every time โ U+1F953 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.
Bacon was approved as U+1F953 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 ๐ฅ is redrawn by Apple, Google, Twitter / X, Facebook, OpenMoji, Samsung, Microsoft, WhatsApp, JoyPixels. The character you send never changes โ only the picture does.
