Meaning & usage
Black heart suit (♥) expresses affection, appreciation or emotional warmth.
Pair it with a name, a short greeting or a profile line; outline hearts feel lighter than filled hearts.
The black heart suit is a filled design. U+2665 keeps this variant separate from similarly shaped characters, so compare neighboring forms before choosing it for a repeating pattern.
The black heart suit ♥ originated as a playing-card suit sign. It can also convey affection in ordinary text, but it is a different character from the black-heart emoji 🖤.
