The Rice Ball Emoji (?) represents a traditional Japanese onigiri, a triangular or oval-shaped rice ball wrapped in nori (seaweed). It is commonly filled with ingredients like salmon, tuna, pickled plum (umeboshi), or other savory fillings. This emoji is often used in conversations about Japanese cuisine, snacks, bento lunches, or travel-related topics. It can also symbolize comfort food, homemade meals, or cultural appreciation. Sometimes, it is used more generally to refer to rice-based dishes or to express love for Asian food. ? is frequently paired with other food emojis like ? (sushi) or ? (cooked rice).
