Common Misunderstandings of đ§
Misinterpretation as a generic "fat"
While it is a fat, đ§ specifically refers to butter, not other cooking oils or fats.
Tip: If you mean a general cooking oil, consider đĢ (olive) for olive oil or a general food emoji.
Overuse for any dairy product
Using đ§ for any dairy product might be too specific if it's not butter.
Tip: Reserve đ§ for contexts where butter, or dishes made with butter, are implied. For general dairy, consider đĨ (milk glass) or đ§ (cheese wedge).
