In my emoji picker when I enter freedom I see some french fries.

Why is that?

Practical example:

So if I want to write something like the following:

People of the world appreciate what you're given, go out there and enjoy your freedom

So emojifying the above quote is somewhat dangerous:

👫👬 of the 🌎, appreciate what you're given, go out there and enjoy your 🍟.

The 🍟 emoji is offered as an option for any search matching the string ‘freedom fries’,

a political euphemism for French fries in the United States. The term was born in 2003 when the then Republican Chairman of the Committee on House Administration, Bob Ney, renamed the menu item in three Congressional cafeterias in response to France's opposition to the proposed invasion of Iraq.

In the QuickType keyboard suggestions (on iOS or a Touch Bar), emojis are suggested as word replacements when an entire word in the original text matches an entire word in a string relating to the emoji. In this case the word ‘freedom’ or ‘fries’ in a text can be replaced with this emoji.

You can find strings for each emoji in

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreEmoji.framework/Versions/A/Resources/en.lproj/

replacing en with the locale, then opening CharacterPicker.strings. For example:

/System/L*/Priv*/CoreE*/V*/A/R*/en.*/C*

Open the .strings file as a .plist in Xcode to prettyprint it.
