What the 💜 emoji means

A purple heart. Affection with a particular crowd attached: it is the colour of BTS fandom, and in the United States also a military decoration.

Among fans of Korean pop it means «I love you» in a fixed, almost coded way. Elsewhere it reads as ordinary warmth with a preference for the colour.

Where the 💜 emoji is used

The 💜 smiley copies in one tap and pastes into a chat as text, not as a picture: it is a Unicode symbol, so it works the same in WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and in a post caption. Every platform draws emoji its own way — below you can see how purple heart is drawn in the open Noto, OpenMoji and Twemoji sets.
