Takeaway Container Emoji
Meaning
A tall, white, oyster pail-style carton, as used for takeout/takeaway food at Western Chinese restaurants.
Most platforms feature a traditional red pagoda-style design on the carton, though Facebook uses a circular Chinese-inspired motif, loosely resembling a simplified shòu (壽) design. WhatsApp’s carton features no additional design.
Samsung includes chopsticks protruding from the open box, as did previous designs from Apple, Google, and Microsoft. Facebook's initial design displayed chopsticks sitting on top of a closed carton.
