Emoji Meaning

Meaning

A solid black heart symbol, representing darkness, sorrow, or a more nuanced emotional state. Unlike the red heart (โค๏ธ), which signifies love and passion, the black heart often conveys morbidity, grief, or a darker emotional tone. It is not part of a series and stands alone in its expressive purpose.

Common Uses

  • Expressing sorrow or mourning: 'I'm so sorry for your loss ๐Ÿ–ค'
  • Indicating a darker or more intense emotion: 'Feeling a bit ๐Ÿ–ค today'
  • Symbolizing support for gothic or alternative culture: 'Happy Halloween ๐Ÿ–ค'

Example Sentences

  • The news of his passing was a ๐Ÿ–ค moment for the community.
  • She wore all black to the funeral, her heart heavy with ๐Ÿ–ค.
  • In the gothic subculture, ๐Ÿ–ค is a symbol of both sorrow and strength.
