In some cultures, especially in parts of Europe and Asia, beets are commonly used as a metaphor for a face turning red. Because of their deep red color, this emoji may be used to suggest embarrassment, shyness, or being visibly flustered, similar to saying someone is “red like a beet.”

Heads-up

Some devices or OS versions may still not support this beet emoji; if it looks blank or turns into a square, it’s not your eyesight, it’s Unicode lag!

Heads-up

This beet emoji may look similar to a carrot at a glance, but it represents a different root vegetable. Beets and carrots are not the same. If you specifically want to send a carrot, use 🥕 instead.
