White Heart Suit ♡

The white heart suit is an outlined heart from the playing card symbols. People use it as a softer, minimal heart in bios, messages and decorative text, and in card game notation when an outline style is wanted. It never displays as an emoji. It suits understated designs.

Good to know

Don’t mix it up: It is the outlined counterpart of the black heart suit ♥ (U+2665).

Tip: Choose ♡ when you want a heart that stays plain text rather than turning into a red emoji.

Display: the character itself is always the same code point, but its shape comes from the font on the device showing it. If you see an empty box, the font lacks this glyph—the text is still correct.
