Usage notes

[edit]
  • As an emoji, the design of 🎃 varies by operating system/platform. Aside from the carved face, the most prominent difference is whether or not the pumpkin has a lit candle; some platforms display the symbol's facial features as yellow (to represent light) while others depict them as black or dark orange.[1]
