Where the Root Vegetable emoji came from
It arrived with the 16.0 release of the standard, which dates the root vegetable to 2024.
Same character every time — U+1FADC 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.
Root Vegetable was approved as U+1FADC and shipped in Emoji 16.0 (2024). 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, JoyPixels. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
