Churro emoji copy and paste, by the search words
An emoji keyboard searches the CLDR word list. That list files fried under Fried shrimp alone, twisted under Pretzel alone and sugar under Cupcake alone. Chocolate leads to three emoji: the bar, the cookie and the fondue pot. Churro, cinnamon and fritter lead nowhere.
Straight, curled or twisted
Wikipedia gives a churro three shapes: straight, curled or spirally twisted. In Spain a thin one is sometimes knotted, and in Seville thick ones are fried as one continuous spiral and cut up afterward. So the loop and the spiral sit beside the stick, and the typed churros come in each shape.
The word copies a sound: the Diccionario de la lengua espaΓ±ola calls churro an imitation of frying, by Wikipedia.
