Fortune Cookie 🥠
Usage snapshot:
- Used in content written with the Common script; suitable for UI labels and body text.
- Appears in the Unicode block Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs.
History & usage: FORTUNE COOKIE depicts a modern pictographic emoji used to convey a playful cultural symbol. In the name, there are no HARD SIGN, SOFT SIGN, or other functional tokens; the words are plain nouns that signal a concept and a thing. In orthography and typography, such tokens are described by their role in forming meaningful units and by any shape qualifiers, but in this case the lexical pieces signal a concrete object rather than a phonetic modifyer.
Practical uses arise in scholarly dictionaries and grammars that discuss emoji as a cultural object, in educational primers comparing pictographs to other symbols, and in archival transcription of digital texts where the item appears as a stand‑alone emblem. It also appears in scholarly editions and typographic revivals that explore modern symbol sets and their historical context within the Common script family.
Across platforms, it is important to consider cross‑platform appearance and accessibility, including alt text and screen‑reader clarity, so that the meaning is preserved for diverse users.
