Apricot, plum and nectarine in emoji search
The words an emoji keyboard matches come from CLDR. Apricot and plum match nothing there, and nectarine matches Tangerine alone. Peach has two search words, fruit and peach. Almond finds Chestnut alone, which matters here: ๆ, the Han character for apricot, also means almond in the Unihan database.
Jam, tarts and blossom
Wikipedia has apricots eaten fresh and dried and baked into cakes and tarts, so the combos run from a jar to a pie. The flowers are white or pinkish and open before the leaves, early in spring: Cherry blossom is the nearest emoji CLDR files under blossom.
Wiktionary calls apricot a doublet of precocious: the two words share one Latin root.

How this list was compiled: Built on 2026-10-09 from sources read that day. The emoji, their names, code points and Emoji version numbers are from the Unicode emoji list, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-test.txt); names are the CLDR short names printed in that file. Search words are from the CLDR English annotations (https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotations/en.xml and https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotationsDerived/en.xml). Unicode has no emoji named apricot: no emoji name, no CLDR search word and no character name in UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), holds apricot. No emoji is named plum either; the one character with plum in its name is U+1F022, Mahjong tile plum, which is not an emoji. Peach has the two search words fruit and peach. CLDR files nectarine under Tangerine alone, almond under Chestnut alone, orange under seven emoji, stone under three (Rock, Curling stone, Gem stone), jar under two (Honey pot, Jar), blossom under three (Cherry blossom, Blossom, Tulip) and sunny under three (Cooking, Sun, Sun with face); jam, dried and plum lead to no emoji. That an apricot is the fruit, or the tree, of several species of Prunus and usually Prunus armeniaca, whose name refers to Armenia, that the fruit is eaten fresh and dried and goes into cakes, tarts and jam, the Austrian dumplings, that the word entered English as abrecock in the 16th century, by way of an Arabic word for the plums, from Latin for early ripening, that the tree is small with a round canopy, that the flowers are white or pinkish and come before the leaves early in spring, and that the fruit is an orange-yellow stone fruit with one seed in a hard shell are from Wikipedia, Apricot (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apricot, CC BY-SA 4.0). The Latin phrase for peaches which ripen early, the influence of French abricot and of the Latin for a sunny place, the obsolete spelling apricock, the doublet precocious, the senses of a pale yellow-orange color (hex FDAE51 in its color panel) and of a dog with an orange-colored coat, and the Mandarin, Japanese, French, Austrian German, Spanish and Armenian words are from Wiktionary, apricot (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/apricot, CC BY-SA 4.0).
