Heart suit

Meaning and uses

The solid heart from a deck of playing cards. It is the most widely supported heart in Unicode, so it displays in usernames, game chat and on older phones where emoji hearts may not. Use it for love notes, bios and card-game text.

Unicode details

♥ is the Unicode character named BLACK HEART SUIT, code point U+2665, in the Miscellaneous Symbols block. It was added in Unicode 1.1 in 1993, and Unicode classes it as a symbol (general category So).

It can also appear as an emoji, listed under the name “heart suit”. Plain text is its default, but some apps draw it in colour anyway. Adding the invisible variation selector U+FE0F after it asks for the emoji style, and U+FE0E asks for plain text.
