Meaning & usage
๐ is the purple heart โ compassion, glamour, and the signature colour of BTS, whose fans made ๐ a fandom emblem ('I purple you'). It is also the name of a US military medal, so context matters. As a full emoji it renders in colour on every modern phone; if you need a heart that behaves like plain text instead, the โฅ and โก pages carry the text versions.
Examples in use
- Love this ๐
- Thank you ๐๐
