People currently are using several visual emoji metaphors to represent female breasts, basically anything that resembles a round shape, especially food and balls. They are probably more likely to choose an emoji that is already used as a metaphor in their native langue, e.g. melon in English.
Sadly, I don't have publicly attested examples for most of these, just private anecdotal evidence. Pornhub's Emoji 4 Porn service, however, uses a melon🍈 for the big tits category and cherries 🍒 for small tits.
There are several ASCII art #293 and kaomoji renditions of female breasts, e.g. (descriptions taken from the source on the web)
(*)(*)(·)(·)(.Y.)(. )( .)( . Y . )(.)(.)[.][.](* )( *)( o ) ( o )|\o/\o/|╭∩╮╭∩╮( ๏ Y ๏ )They surely are popular and that's of course not a new, but a long-lasting thing: Unicode Egyptian hieroglyphs include a small U+13091 𓂑
D27and a large breast U+13092 𓂒D27aas pictographic determinatives for 'breast' mndj and ideographic determinatives for 'suck' snq or 'tutor' mnaj. As with the phallus hieroglyphs, U+130B8-A (D52,D53) #243, some (American) font vendors shamefully do not include glyphs for those.Therefore, it would probably be best to propose a gender-agnostic Breast(s) emoji and then use it in ZWJ sequences with♀️ for female mammaries and ♂️ for a (hairy) male chest. Unicode 10 will include a Breast-feeding emoji 🤱 U+1F931.
