💘️ Heart with arrow emoji

What is 💘️ called?

💘️ is called the Heart with arrow emoji.

What does 💘️ mean?

💘 depicts a heart pierced by an arrow and means being lovestruck, sudden romantic attraction, or love associated with Cupid. It is common in Valentine, crush, dating, and love-at-first-sight messages.

Cupid is the Roman god of desire whose arrows cause love in later art and storytelling. The arrow is therefore symbolic rather than normally suggesting a wounded or medically injured heart.

Other meanings

A new crush, instant attraction, falling in love, romantic destiny, Valentine imagery, or joking that somebody has been struck by Cupid.

Example Usage

I had a crush from the moment we met 💘

Cupid seems to have found you both 💘
