Melon Emoji 🍈

Pale green-brown and often shown sliced open, the melon emoji depicts a cantaloupe or honeydew, seeds and all. Most of the time it's exactly what it looks like — a smoothie ingredient, a fruit-bowl staple, a taste of summer. Doubled up as two in a row, though, it occasionally becomes a cheeky stand-in for breasts, the same way peach and eggplant work for other body parts.

What 🍈 means

A dull yellow-greenish big round fruit that hangs with a tiny brown stalk on a thin brown stem. Although the 🍈 Melon emoji mostly signifies musk melons or cantaloupes, it can be used to represent any fruit among the melon fam.

How and when to use it

First off, use 🍈 in the captions or within a text message while sending pictures or videos of melons (the fruit, in case you were confused). It can be anything, a picture of your melon farm, a ripe and colorful harvest, or even a bulk melon purchase you made this morning.
If you love melons or if your social media page has the word 'melon' or 'cantaloupe' in it, you can use 🍈 in your social media profile name.
Now the dirty side to melons; it is a crass reference to a woman's breasts. So, you can use 🍈 in such corresponding contexts (quite irrational and yucky, but yeah, it happens and it happens a lot).
If you're reposting a viral video of a fruit that looks like a melon but isn't and also doesn't have an emoji dedicated to it, then you can use 🍈 in such captions too.
You can also use 🍈 if you're sharing pictures of a bowl of fruit salad (that has melon in it, of course).

Seeing a blank box instead of the emoji somewhere? Here's why that happens. Curious why the designs above don't match to begin with? Here's why that happens too.
