potato

Potato is used equal parts literally (fries, mash, comfort carbs) and self-deprecatingly — calling yourself or a bad photo a 'potato' is a common way to joke about looking unglamorous or about low camera/video quality ('recorded on a potato'). Introduced in Unicode 8 (2015), its plain brown oval design is intentionally unremarkable, fitting its role as the internet's go-to symbol for 'humble' or 'low-effort.'
