The growing heart is one heart expanding in rings, the picture of affection getting bigger as you watch. It's love that's swelling: pride, gratitude, hearts growing three sizes.
Send it when someone's news makes your chest feel full, or when a friendship levels up. It's emotion in motion.
In texting, 💗 does not carry a widely used hidden or slang meaning, so you can usually take it at face value. People send it just as it looks, to add a little visual touch or set the mood of a message. Only a handful of emoji have a separate texting code, and 💗 is not really one of them.
Its official Unicode name is the Growing Heart emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the growing heart emoji or describe what it shows. Copy and paste it from the button at the top of this page.
The 💗 leads off a short phrase, and the rest of the words are written in cipher, every letter disguised as another emoji. Tap decipher to reveal the whole line.
