U+1F60D · emoji since 2010
Heart eyes means I love what I'm looking at, instantly and completely. It works on people, food, outfits, sunsets, sneakers, and basically anything that deserves an enthusiastic wow.
It's flirtier than a plain heart but still safe to send to a friend's new haircut photo. If 👍 is approval, 😍 is full admiration with the volume turned up.
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 Heart Eyes emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the heart eyes 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.
Or make your own cipher in the translator.
