Meaning & usage
What does the Pie emoji mean?
A pie in its dish with one wedge cut and the filling left unreadable.
Homely and warm. It suggests baking and family meals, and it is one of the softer food emoji to send as thanks for hosting.
How to use 🥧 naturally
Baking, Thanksgiving dessert and any pudding served in a dish.
Food and drink emoji are most often literal, but they also signal plans, cravings, celebrations and shared routines. Context is especially important when a food has a slang meaning in a particular community.

Common questions
About the pie emoji
What does 🥧 mean in a text message?
A pie in its dish with one wedge cut and the filling left unreadable. Homely and warm. It suggests baking and family meals, and it is one of the softer food emoji to send as thanks for hosting.
Is 🥧 always positive?
Not always. Its usual readings are pie emoji, pumpkin pie emoji, thanksgiving emoji, and irony or the relationship between the people can flip any of them.
What does 🥧 mean from a girl or from a guy?
The same thing either way: A pie in its dish with one wedge cut and the filling left unreadable. The sender's gender does not change what the character means. What does change it is how well you know each other, what the rest of the message says, and whether either of you is being ironic.
Why does 🥧 look different on another device?
U+1F967 identifies the emoji; the picture is a font, drawn separately by Apple, Google, Microsoft and Samsung. Only the artwork changes, never the character.
How do I copy and paste the pie emoji?
Use the copy button at the top of this page. 🥧 is a character, not an image, so it pastes into messages, captions and filenames as ordinary text.
When was the pie emoji introduced?
Unicode’s Emoji Versions data first records 🥧 as emoji in Emoji 5.0, dated 2017. Early emoji version numbers can be retrospective, so this date describes its place in the standardised emoji set rather than the first-ever appearance of the underlying symbol.
