Common Misunderstandings of 🧅

Overlooking the metaphorical use

Some might only interpret it literally as the vegetable, missing its broader meaning related to crying or layers.

Tip: Add context to clarify metaphorical use, e.g., "This story has so many layers, like an 🧅."

Assuming all onions are the same

While the emoji is generic, there are many types of onions (red, white, yellow, green).

Tip: If the specific type of onion matters, clarify with text, e.g., "Red 🧅 for the salad."
