The BBC has seen several groups in which the emoji appears in place of the word "vaccine".
The rules of one very large group state: "Use code words for everything". It adds: "Do not use the c word, v word or b word ever" (covid, vaccine, booster). It was created more than a year ago and has more than 250,000 members.
"It was people giving accounts of relatives who had died shortly after having the Covid-19 vaccine", Marc Owen-Jones, a disinformation researcher, said. "But instead of using the words "Covid-19" or "vaccine", they were using emojis of carrots.
Facebook's algorithms tend to focus on words rather than images.
Once the BBC alerted Facebook's parent company, Meta, the groups were removed.
