Poultry leg emoji: chicken leg, turkey leg or drumstick
Unicode names it Poultry leg and does not say which bird. It is the only emoji CLDR files under drumstick and the only one under poultry.
A drumstick was a stick first
Wiktionary dates the drum-playing sense of drumstick to the 16th century and the leg of a chicken or other fowl to the 17th. The combo Drumstick, both kinds sets the leg beside Drum, and Two kinds of leg pairs it with Leg, its neighbour under that search word.
The typed drumsticks start with Ζ, a Latin letter Unicode calls open E. It stands in for the boneβs knob.

How this list was compiled: Built on 2026-10-07 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). Poultry leg is U+1F357, Emoji 0.6, in the subgroup food-prepared between Meat on bone and Cut of meat. CLDR gives it seven search words (bone, chicken, drumstick, hungry, leg, poultry, turkey); it is the only emoji under drumstick and under poultry, one of two under chicken and one of two under turkey. No emoji is named for a chicken wing or for fried chicken: wing lists only Wing (Emoji 15.0) and fried lists only Fried shrimp. UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt) names no other character for the leg and gives the letter of the text drumsticks as Latin capital letter open E; the emoji has no text style row in https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt. The two senses of drumstick and their centuries are from Wiktionary, drumstick (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/drumstick, CC BY-SA 4.0). The six text drumsticks and the twelve combos are this siteβs own work. Licence: own work: the selection, the combo names, the text drawings and the notes are this site's own.
