The Tamale emoji (🫔) is your ticket to expressing serious appreciation for comfort food that comes with its own edible packaging. This perfectly wrapped bundle captures that anticipation of unwrapping corn husk to reveal the steamy, seasoned treasure inside—whether you're sharing abuela's recipe or just really craving that perfect masa-to-filling ratio.

Added in 2020, this emoji was part of Unicode's effort to represent more diverse global cuisines, acknowledging tamales' cultural significance across Latin America where variations exist from Mexico's corn husk version to Brazil's banana leaf pamonha.
