fork and knife

The fork and knife are iconic symbols of Western dining. They are also the most commonly seen utensils in restaurants worldwide.

This emoji is mainly used to express things like 'delicious meal,' 'eating out,' or 'restaurant.' It's frequently used on social media when posting food photos or restaurant reviews.

The proper use of a fork and knife is a significant part of Western dining etiquette. British and American styles differ slightly, a distinction originating from 18th-century European aristocratic culture. Nowadays, both styles are widely accepted.

Recently, the use of forks and knives has become commonplace in Asian countries, including Korea. Especially among the MZ generation, enjoying diverse food cultures from around the world has become a trend, further increasing the use of this emoji.
