What the green heart emoji means
๐ is the heart for anything green: nature, plants, health and wellness, eco and climate posts, St Patrickโs Day and Irish pride, and teams that play in green. The old idea that a green heart means envy is real but rare in practice; most people who send ๐ mean โfresh, healthy, growingโ, or simply like the colour. It also carries a gentle, non-romantic warmth, similar to ๐.
