In Japanese chats, 🧅 (たまねぎ) appears mainly in cooking or family-meal contexts. It’s associated with curry, hamburg steak, and other comfort dishes — evokes “お母さんの味” (“mom’s cooking”) rather than tears.

Heads-up

🧅 is great for emotional or food humor, but avoid pairing with 😭 in formal chats unless you really want the melodrama 😅.
