This emoji goes beyond just 'bread,' holding symbolic meaning in many cultures as the 'staff of life' or a 'staple food.' Thus, it's sometimes used when talking about basic needs or the preciousness of daily life.

In English-speaking countries, 'bread' is used as slang for money, originating from the concept of working to 'earn bread' for a living. You can cleverly use this emoji when telling a friend, "Let's work hard and make some money!" and it also connects to the expression 'the best thing since sliced bread.'
