Cheese Wedge

What it means
The Cheese Wedge Emoji 🧀 portrays a triangular chunk of cheese in rich golden yellow, complete with characteristic holes pierced throughout the wedge and a slightly darker rind along one side.
Most often, people use this emoji to evoke cheese in any form—literal or metaphorical—whether they're craving snacks, discussing food boards, or celebrating anything deliciously cheesy (sometimes, even jokes).
Unlike the Waffle Emoji 🧇 or the Meat On Bone Emoji 🍖, this one always puts the dairy front and center, easily recognized by its Swiss-style holes and vibrant yellow, no matter the platform; a wedge of mystery: no one really knows what type of cheese it tries to be, but Swiss seems to win by popular vote.
Type words like cheese, cheddar, dairy, snack, food, wedge, fromage, or even "cheesy" to track it down in your keyboard menu.
