What the heart exclamation ❣️ emoji means
❣️ is the heavy heart exclamation: a red heart standing in for the dot of an exclamation mark. It means “love this!” — emphatic affection, enthusiastic agreement, a heart with a bang. It is an old Dingbat character (U+2763) that became an emoji in 2015, so it needs a variation selector and can render as a plain black glyph in some apps. In texting it works as punctuation: “can’t wait to see you❣️”. From a guy or a girl it is an excited heart rather than a solemn one, close in spirit to 💖 sparkling heart.
