What is 🖤️ called?
🖤️ is called the Black heart emoji.
Commonly called the black love heart, dark heart, or goth heart. “Evil heart” occurs as a playful nickname, but black does not carry one universal emotional meaning.
What does 🖤️ mean?
🖤 is a solid black heart used for love with a dark aesthetic, grief, serious support, gothic style, dry humour, or admiration for something black-themed. It may feel intense, understated, rebellious, or mournful.
The colour does not make every use evil or negative. Friends, partners, fans, and communities often use it affectionately, while context around loss can give it a sombre meaning.
Other meanings
Gothic or alternative style, mourning, dark humour, intense affection, serious solidarity, black clothing or design, and deliberately dramatic emotion.
Example Usage
That all-black outfit is perfect 🖤
Thinking of everyone grieving today 🖤
