Meaning & usage

💗 is the growing heart — hearts nested inside hearts, feelings getting bigger. It is used for swelling affection and multiplying fandom love. 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.

Examples in use

Love this 💗
Thank you 💗💗
