Point at or focus a symbol to see its Unicode name.
A dot marks symbols that may show as color emoji on phones.
Classic heart symbols
Plain text hearts. They take the color of the text around them.
Floral hearts and leaves
Typographic ornaments to close a line or a title.
Colored heart emoji
These draw as full-color emoji on phones, so they keep their own color.
Everything runs in your browser. What you type is not uploaded or saved. These styles are Unicode symbols, so how they look depends on the device and app you paste into.
Text hearts and emoji hearts
The first group holds hearts that are plain text. ♡ is the white heart suit, drawn as an outline, and ♥ is the black heart suit. The ornamental ones, such as ❥ and ❣, are heavier decorative hearts from the Dingbats block. They take the color of your text.
The colored hearts at the end are emoji. They keep their own colors, so a red one stays red whatever the text color is. ♥ and ❤ also appear on the emoji list, so a phone may show them as red hearts; they carry a dot here.
Using more than one
Switch to “Add it to my tray” to put several hearts in a row. Mixing an outline ♡ with a solid ♥ looks tidy, and a row of one kind looks calmer than a mix of many. The floral hearts and leaves in the middle group work best at the end of a line or beside a title.
Where hearts can fail
A heart that is plain text on one device can be a color picture on another, and the sizes differ. If the color matters, use an emoji heart and check it on the device where it will be read. Some sites filter symbols from names, so test with a short entry first.
Common questions
What is the difference between ♡ and ♥?
Unicode names ♡ the white heart suit, drawn as an outline, and ♥ the black heart suit, drawn solid. Both belong to the card-suit symbols.
Why did my heart turn red?
Some characters, such as ❤ and ♥, can be drawn either as plain text or as a color emoji. Many phones choose the emoji look.
Can I paste these into a document or a message?
Yes in most apps. If one shows as a box, choose a different heart from the same group.
