Meaning
The Cricket emoji shows a brown or green insect in side view, with long thin antennae and powerful, sharply bent hind legs made for jumping.
It means a cricket, the chirping bug of summer nights, and it is also used for grasshoppers and locusts. Beyond nature posts, it carries a well-known joke: "crickets" means awkward silence, the sound you hear when nobody laughs, replies or shows up. People send it after an unanswered question in a group chat or a joke that got no reaction.
Don't mix it up with ๐ Cricket Game, the bat-and-ball sport also called cricket. For silence with a face, ๐ถ Face Without Mouth works, and ๐ Lady Beetle is another garden bug. It was added in Emoji 5.0 in 2017.
