Meaning & usage

💖 is the sparkling heart — love with glitter on it. It signals excitement and adoration, especially for idols, gifts and anything that makes a heart flutter. As a full emoji it renders in colour on every modern phone; if you need a heart that behaves like plain text instead, the ♥ and ♡ pages carry the text versions.
