Questions and answers

Is there a plantain emoji?
No. CLDR files nothing under plantain and no Unicode name contains the word. Wiktionary defines a plantain as a plant of the banana's genus, Musa, whose fruit is usually cooked. One character covers both: Unihan defines ่ as banana and plantain.
Is there a banana symbol that is not an emoji?
Exactly one Unicode name contains the word banana, and it is the emoji. ่ is banana in Chinese and Japanese in one character, and it takes the colour of your text. The text bananas here are built from keyboard characters and quarter moons.
