Roasted Sweet Potato Emoji
Meaning
A sweet potato depicted with textured purple, orange, or brown skin and sliced in half to show its golden-brown flesh. Sometimes called a yam, though they are unrelated. Not to be confused with the 🥔 Potato.
Commonly roasted as a snack in East Asia during winter, much as squash and pumpkin are popular in the United States during fall/autumn. Used as an offering to the full moon in Japan during the Moon Viewing harvest festival.
May be used playfully as a phonetic rebus for “I yam what I yam” (“I 🍠 what I 🍠”), a catchphrase associated with the cartoon character Popeye the Sailor and a stylized, dialect-based rendering of “I am what I am.”
Samsung and Twitter’s designs show a separate round slice beside the main portion of sweet potato, as did some previous Google and Microsoft designs.
