What ๐ง means
A brown onion with a green sprout. Its two big associations are cooking, where it starts nearly every savory dish, and crying, because cutting onions makes eyes water.
A common move is pairing it with ๐ญ to say something emotional hit hard: 'who's cutting onions in here?' It also stands for something with many layers, a person, a plot or a problem.
Easy to confuse with ๐ง garlic at small sizes.
