What the heart on fire β€οΈβπ₯ emoji means
β€οΈβπ₯ is the heart on fire: a red heart with flames rising from it. It means burning passion, lust, intense love β or something you are on fire about, from a new song to a crush. It is a ZWJ sequence of β€οΈ and π₯, added in Emoji 13.1 (2020), which is why older phones show a heart followed by a flame. Its symbolism reaches back to the Sacred Heart of Catholic art, but in chat it is simply the hottest heart: stronger than β€οΈ red heart, more romantic than π₯ fire alone. From a guy or a girl it is rarely subtle.
