💘 Heart with Arrow

💘 Meaning and usage

The 💘 emoji is one of the most romantic and symbolically rich emojis. 💘 is known as the "Heart with Arrow." Its meaning is very specific and rooted in classical Western symbolism.

💘 Love at first sight: This is the most basic and literal meaning. The emoji depicts Cupid (Cupid) piercing a heart with an arrow, symbolizing a sudden and overwhelming feeling of love.

• Example: "I saw you and immediately 💘."

💘 Romantic Love and Attraction: Used to express deep affection, flirtation, and romantic interest.

• Example: "I really like you 💘."

💘 Valentine's Day: This is practically the official symbol of this holiday. 💘 It is used in greetings, cards, and declarations of love on February 14th.

• Example: "Happy Valentine's Day! I love you! 💘"

💘 Denoting “being in love” with something: In a lighter context, it can express a strong passion for something (a hobby, an idea, an object).

• Example: "I'm absolutely in love with this new album! 💘"

How 💘 appeared

1. Classic Symbol: Unlike many modern emoji, this symbol has existed for centuries in art and literature. It is a direct graphic representation of the heart pierced by Cupid's arrow from Roman mythology.
2. Unicode Codification: Emoji 💘 was approved as part of the Unicode 6.0 standard in 2010 and has since been present on all major platforms.

Interesting facts

• Arrow direction: On most platforms (Apple, Google, Samsung), the arrow pierces the heart from bottom to top, right to left . This is an established visual convention.
• Pop Culture Symbol: This icon is often seen in advertising, card designs, tattoos, and as Valentine's Day decoration.
