Text hearts

Heart emoji

Marked items were added to Unicode in 2020 or later and can show as empty boxes on devices that have not been updated since.

Text hearts and emoji hearts

Text hearts such as ♥, ♡ and ❥ take the colour of your font and look the same in any app. Emoji hearts such as ❤️, 💕 and 🖤 are drawn in colour by your device, and their look changes between Apple, Google, Samsung and Windows.

Why ❤ sometimes turns red

The heavy heart ❤ can display either as a text symbol or as an emoji. Adding the invisible variation selector U+FE0F asks for the emoji version, and that is what the red heart emoji on this page contains. Without it, each app decides, which is why the same heart looks black in one place and red in another.

Choosing a colour

Heart colours have picked up their own meanings: red for love, pink for sweetness, purple for support, white for calm, and black for dark humour or grief. None of this is official, so use whatever suits your message.
