What it means

The Garlic Emoji 🧄 shows a plump, ivory-white garlic bulb with subtle vertical ribs and pointy rootlets at its base, all rendered in pale tones.

Used for all things garlic—from recipes to flavoring—it's a favorite with foodies, chefs, and lovers of cuisine with a pungent punch; it also serves as a ward against vampires, at least in folklore-inspired conversations.

Standing apart from the onion 🧅, garlic is typically portrayed as a single bulb without layers or sprouts (it's the aromatic powerhouse of the emoji world, and it knows it).

To find it, search: "garlic," "bulb," "spice," or "flavor."
