Emoji (BENTO BOX): meaning and Unicode code

This symbol is usually associated with the fact that it conveys an Asian dish, a hearty dinner and the characteristic presentation of food.

Pairs for 🍱 are often 🥢, 🍵, 🍽️. This makes it easier to convey the desired tone of the message.

If 🍱 seems too straight forward, people usually choose 🍜, 🍚, 🍱. The meaning remains the same, but the presentation changes slightly.

Usually 🍱 is found in phrases like "Here you can feel a dish with a recognizable presentation 🍱" and "You can immediately feel the mood of a hearty and interesting dinner 🍱."

Usually 🍱 is used when you need to show an Asian dish, a cozy dinner, ordering food or a characteristic gastronomic atmosphere.

In messages, 🍱 usually means "this is about Asian food," "I want this kind of dinner," or "a recognizable presentation of the dish is important."

Sometimes 🍱 has a second layer of meaning: such emojis often mean not just food, but the whole atmosphere of a calm evening meal.

🍱 is called bento; in Unicode it is U+1F371. It belongs to the "Food & Drink" category.
