About
The Onion emoji (🧅) is the tearjerker of the produce aisle, perfect for when you're talking about cooking adventures or need to reference something with layers (metaphorically speaking). It's your go-to for recipe sharing, kitchen mishaps, or those moments when you want to acknowledge that something made you cry—whether from chopping or from feelings.
