hot pepper

Hot pepper doubles as literal spicy food (chili, hot sauce, curry warnings) and as slang for something or someone 'hot' — attractive, intense, or edgy — similar to fire emoji but with a spicier connotation. Part of the original 2010 set, its red-and-green chili shape is one of the more visually consistent food emoji, though the required variation selector (FE0F) means some very old systems render it as plain text.
