🥮 Moon Cake

The round, golden-brown pastry of a Chinese mooncake, a traditional delicacy and lunar symbol of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Many platforms feature a design or character imprinted on the crust, and depict a slice cut out to show a brown paste with a duck egg yolk inside. Twitter displays the Chinese character for “fall/autumn” or “harvest” (秋) on top.

Moon Cake was approved as part of Unicode 11.0 in 2018 and added to Emoji 11.0 in 2018.
