Heart Symbol

Heart symbols to copy and paste: solid ♥, outline ♡, heavy ❤, decorative ❣ ❥ ღ, card suits and 61 small heart text-art lines for bios. Tap any of the 100 below to copy it with its Unicode name and code, then paste it into a message, caption or profile.

Copy a heart in three steps

1. Choose a group: text hearts, heart emoji, text-art lines or card suits. Type heart or a code such as U+2665 in the filter to narrow the list.
2. Tap the heart you want. It is copied and added to the selection box, where you can build a longer line.
3. Paste it. If a text heart shows as a plain black shape and you wanted a red one, take it from the heart emoji group.

Heart characters with names and codes

Text hearts and emoji hearts

The page has two kinds of heart. Text hearts such as ♥ and ♡ are ordinary characters that take the color of the text around them, so they are black in a black font and white on a dark background. Emoji hearts such as ❤️ and 💜 are drawn by the system emoji font in fixed colors. A single code can be both: ❤ U+2764 shows as a text heart when it stands alone in some apps and as a red emoji when it is followed by U+FE0F. The tool adds that selector for the emoji group so the red form is kept.

Card suits and heart ornaments

The card suit hearts are a pair: ♥ is the solid suit and ♡ is the white suit, and they sit next to ♠ ♣ ♦ and their white forms in the Miscellaneous Symbols block. The ornaments ❣ ❥ ❦ ❧ and ☙ come from the Dingbats block and were drawn as printers’ decorations. ღ is not a heart at all but the Georgian letter ghan, which people use because it looks like one. A short check before you paste: if the heart will be read aloud, a screen reader announces it by its Unicode name, so a long run of hearts is read heart by heart.

Heart text art for bios

The text-art group holds 61 short lines made from hearts, dots and brackets, such as ⋆♡⋆ and ╰♡╯. They work as dividers, sign-offs and decorations in a bio. They are built from several characters, so each takes more room in a character limit than a single heart.

Device check

Hearts are copied exactly as shown. We have not yet tested them on specific phones or systems. If a heart appears as a box, email [email protected] with the symbol, device and system version. More groups are on the symbols page.

Frequently asked questions

Why does ❤ sometimes turn red and sometimes stay black?

The heavy heart U+2764 can be drawn as plain text or as an emoji. Adding the variation selector U+FE0F asks for the red emoji form, ❤️, and U+FE0E asks for the plain text form. Apps differ in which one they pick when neither is present.

What is the difference between ♥ and ❤?

♥ is the black heart suit, U+2665, from the card suits. ❤ is the heavy black heart, U+2764, from the Dingbats block. Both are hearts, but fonts draw them in different weights.

How do I type a heart on a keyboard?

On Windows, hold Alt and type 3 on the number pad to get ♥. On a phone, open the emoji keyboard and pick a heart. You can also copy any heart from this page.

Can I use a heart in a username?

Some sites accept it and some block it. Many sites allow only letters, numbers, periods and underscores in a username, so use a heart in a name or bio field instead.
