What is ❤️ called?

❤️ is called the Red heart emoji.

Often called the love heart, red love heart, or simply the heart emoji. It is sometimes confused with ♥️ Heart suit, which represents the playing-card suit and has a different Unicode code point.

What does ❤️ mean?

❤️ is the classic heart emoji for love, affection, care, gratitude, sympathy, and enthusiastic approval. It works in romantic relationships but is equally common with family, friends, pets, causes, and heartfelt thanks.

On many apps a heart also represents liking or favouriting content, while games may use hearts for health or lives. Those interface meanings come from the surrounding product rather than a different Unicode character.

Other meanings

Romantic love, family affection, friendship, support, compassion, appreciation, a social-media like, or health and lives in games.

Example Usage

Love you—get home safely ❤️

Thank you for being there when I needed help ❤️
