How it looks on your device
The glyph above is rendered by your own operating system or browser, so it may look slightly different on Windows, Android or iOS - that's normal, each platform ships its own emoji artwork for the same underlying character.
What it means
The classic heart. Love, affection, gratitude or support, and by far the most neutral of all the heart colours: it works between partners, friends, family and in a team chat alike. Most platforms also use it as the "love" reaction.
How people use it
- Signing off a message to someone you care about
- Reacting to good news, a kind gesture or a photo
- Showing support after bad news, when words feel like too much
Examples
- love you, drive safe ❤️
- thank you all for coming yesterday ❤️
- thinking of you ❤️
Often combined with
- ❤️🔥
- passion, or something that is "on fire"
- ❤️🩹
- mending heart - recovering, healing
Good to know
On some older platforms ❤️ rendered as a plain black text glyph unless the variation selector (U+FE0F) was included. Modern devices always show it red.
