Lime Emoji 🍋‍🟩

What 🍋‍🟩 means

A bright green lime, usually drawn whole with a juicy cut half. The 🍋‍🟩 Lime emoji (Emoji 15.1, September 2023) ended one of the produce aisle's longest-running injustices — for years, lime lovers had to point at a yellow 🍋 and hope context did the rest.

Under the hood it's the lemon emoji fused with a green square, which is exactly the kind of pragmatic magic ZWJ sequences exist for.

How and when to use it

• Cocktails and cooking, obviously: "Taco night: fresh 🍋‍🟩 on everything or don't bother."
• Margarita, mojito, and key-lime-pie content finally has its garnish: "Sunday = 🍋‍🟩🍹 by the pool."
• Also works for all things zesty and green — matcha-adjacent aesthetics included.
