Usage notes
edit
- The design of this symbol varies by platform and emoji set. The most common design, however, is a pink heart with yellowish stars indicating sparkling.
- In most senses, 💖 may be considered a tamer, more platonic version of ❤ by some; however, in the romance sense, it can be seen as either equal to, or more intense than ❤.
