Different meanings of the same emoji in Chinese, Japanese and English reading contexts
Different countries have different ways of understanding the same emoji. The way people understand it depends on the local culture, habits, language and other aspects.

Firecrackers🧨, red envelopes🧧 and mooncakes🥮
🧨, 🧧, and 🥮 were added to emoji 11.0 in June 2018. All three of these emoji refer to traditional Chinese lunar festivals. One of them, firecrackers (🧨), is significant to many Chinese celebrations. To make a long story short, it is traditionally believed that colors, noise and flames can scare away evil spirits. Therefore, 🧨 is usually used to celebrate ceremonies, such as weddings.

Similar to 🧨, red envelopes (🧧) are exchanged on important occasions such as weddings, graduations, birthdays and major holidays. During the Chinese Lunar New Year, elders give 🧧 to their juniors in the hope that the juniors will always enjoy the happy times of their children.

Mooncake (🥮) denotes a traditional Chinese snack enjoyed during the Mid-Autumn Festival on the Chinese lunar calendar. Mid-Autumn Festival usually falls around September or October. Nowadays there are also emoji (🎑) representing Mid-Autumn Festival.
