Emoji Details
I decided not to include some ambiguous or species-wise redundant emoji:
-
π± -
πΏ , sometimes interpreted as fern -
π , same species asβ , but some interpret it as Marsilea quadrifolia -
π , arguably same species asπ -
π , same species asπ -
π , same species asπ -
π , in some depictions a caterpillar, in others various other arthropods, not necessarily insects -
π₯¬ , ambiguous, either cabbage or lettuce -
π΄ , less ambiguously depicted asπ₯₯ -
π , same species asπ -
πΈ , hard to distinguish fromπ
Some included emoji might be not obvious:
-
π¦ - bacteria -
π¦ - songbirds -
𧽠- sponges -
π¬ - tobacco -
πΊ - hops -
β - coffee -
π§ - yerba mate -
π΅ - tea (Camellia sinensis) -
πΌ - daisy (although depictions in various sets may be different)
