U+2665 · emoji since 2010
The heart suit is the playing card heart, but online it works as a clean, classic love heart. It reads as warmth and I care, without the extra shine of the big red heart.
It shows up in card game posts, Valentine themes, and anywhere people want a simple heart that feels a little retro and understated.
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 Suit emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the heart suit 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.
