pear ๐ - OzVoca Emoji Details
pear
The pear ๐ emoji represents the pear, a crisp and juicy fruit. You can use it when you want to eat fruit.
In Korea, the round-shaped pear is more common, and it's a fruit that's especially eaten in the fall. It's also said to be good for when you have a cold because of its cool and sweet taste.
This emoji can bring to mind both the Western pear and the round Asian pear. In Korea, it's also a representative fruit given as a gift during holidays like Chuseok to wish for abundance.
In some East Asian cultures, there's a custom of not sharing a pear with a lover or family because the Chinese character for pear, 'ๆขจ' (li), has the same pronunciation as the character for 'to separate,' '้ข' (li). However, thanks to the perception that it's good for throat health, it's also loved as a health icon, introduced as an ingredient for pear juice or tea.
