❤️ Red Heart is the classic love emoji and one of the most sent emojis in the world. It expresses love, care, gratitude and strong appreciation, from romantic messages to simply liking a friend's photo.
What does ❤️ mean?
The ❤️ emoji is a bright red heart. Its official name is Red Heart (U+2764 U+FE0F). It is the strongest and most universal way to say "I love this" or "I love you".
Compared with other colored hearts, red feels the most romantic and serious. But it is also used casually to thank someone, support a post or end a message warmly.
When to use ❤️
- Telling someone you love them: partner, family or close friends.
- Saying thank you warmly: "thanks for the help ❤️".
- Reacting to a message or a story you like.
- Showing support to someone going through something hard.
- Celebrating anniversaries, Valentine's Day and birthdays.

What does ❤️ mean from a girl or a guy?
A red heart from a crush can be a sign of real interest, especially in private messages. From friends and family it simply means affection. Context matters: a ❤️ reaction on a group message is friendly, while a ❤️ after "I miss you" is more romantic.

How old is the ❤️ emoji?
The ❤️ character is older than emoji itself: U+2764 has been part of Unicode since version 1.1 (1993) as a plain black-and-white symbol. It only became a colorful emoji when emojis were standardized in Unicode 6.0 in 2010. Its original Unicode name is Heavy Black Heart, and in Unicode's 2021 ranking ❤️ was the second most used emoji in the world, right after 😂.
How ❤️ is used on social media
On Instagram, the heart is the like button itself: double-tapping a post shows a big heart.
Good to know before you send ❤️
If ❤️ appears black, your device is showing the old text symbol. The red version needs an invisible variation selector (U+FE0F), which the Copy Emoji button on this page includes.
How ❤️ looks on different devices
❤️ is a standard Unicode emoji. On iPhone, iPad and Mac it appears as Apple's glossy red heart; Android, Samsung and Windows show their own design. On some very old systems it may appear as a plain text heart ❤ without color.
