What does ๐ฎ Taco emoji mean?
The Taco emoji ๐ฎ displays a taco. It is commonly used to refer to tacos, taco restaurants, Taco Tuesday, Mexican and Tex-Mex food and culture, and Mexico more generally. On October 4, the Taco emoji ๐ฎ is used with the hashtag #NationalTacoDay to commemorate National Taco Day.
Where does ๐ฎ Taco emoji come from?
The Taco emoji ๐ฎ was approved under Unicode 8.0 in 2015. On most major platforms, the emoji resembles a taco with a hard or soft tortilla shell filled with meat, lettuce, cheese and sometimes tomatoes and/or onions. On most major platforms, the taco is tilted so that the fillings are visible from the left. The WhatsApp version of the emoji is tilted the other direction with fillings visible from the right side.
Tacos are a popular food that can be bought at supermarkets or taco carts. Because most people know that tacos come from Mexico, the Taco emoji ๐ฎ is sometimes used to specifically refer to Mexico. If it is, it may be accompanied by the Flag of Mexico emoji ๐ฒ๐ฝ.
