Meaning & usage

♡ is the outline of the playing-card heart suit, and as plain text it has a lightness the filled hearts can't match — which is why it is all over aesthetic bios, K-pop fan posts and minimal designs: '♡ thank you for watching ♡'. It takes the colour of your text and scales with your font, so it works in documents, spreadsheets and code comments where emoji would clash. Pair it with ♥ for a before-and-after effect, or string it ♡♡♡ as a divider.

Frequently asked questions

How do I type the ♡ symbol?

There is no keyboard shortcut for ♡. Copy it from this page — as a text character it pastes cleanly into Instagram, TikTok bios, documents and messages.

Why use ♡ instead of a heart emoji?

♡ is minimal and monochrome: it matches your text colour and font, never clashes with a design, and displays identically on old and new devices.

Why does ♡ sometimes show as a box or question mark?

The box (called tofu) means the device or font viewing it has no drawing for U+2661 (White Heart Suit). The character itself is fine — try a different font or a newer device, or use one of the variants on this page.

Is the Heart Outline free to use?

Yes. ♡ is a standard Unicode text character published in the Unicode Character Database. You may use it in personal and commercial documents, designs and products without permission or payment.
