Petri dish emoji meaning

The petri dish emoji is a small image of a shallow, round dish that is commonly used in laboratories to grow bacteria, fungi, or other tiny organisms for study. This dish is an important tool in science and research, particularly in biology and microbiology. The emoji is often used in conversations about biology, scientific experiments, or laboratory work. It can also represent ideas like growth, exploration, and careful analysis in a controlled environment, much like what happens during real-life experiments in labs. This emoji plays an educational and symbolic role in discussions related to science and discovery.

The petri dish emoji was approved in Unicode 11.0 and added in Emoji 11.0, see related proposal L2/17113
