History & usage: The character POTATO depicts a potato. The name POTATO signals a basic lexical item rather than a diacritic or orthographic sign; there are no shape or qualifier tokens like ROUNDED, TALL, or HARD SIGN to explain. In general use, such tokens matter for how a symbol guides reading and typographic emphasis, but this name centers a concrete object and its pictorial form. Practical contexts rely on its identity as a common food image: in dictionaries or grammars, it appears as an emoji example to illustrate pictographs in the Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs block. In scholarly editions and archival transcription, it helps mark a cultural item referenced in everyday life. Educational primers may present it to teach emoji vocabulary and visual semantics. Paleography or typographic revivals might study its appearance in modern pictographic sets and specimen books to document how food imagery is standardized. Cross‑platform appearance remains consistent with emoji presentation, and assistive technologies should announce the item as “potato” for accessibility.
