224 emojis in this category. ❤️ Red Heart won Emojipedia's "Lifetime Achievement" award in 2022, and the data backs it up. Meltwater's 2025 data showed it dominating YouTube with 34% share of voice, the highest single-platform concentration of any emoji. Hearts are the backbone of this category, and Unicode keeps adding them. The original ❤️ arrived in Unicode 1.1 (1993). Colored variants (💙💚💛🧡💜) came in batches between Unicode 6.0 and 10.0. 🖤 Black Heart and 🤍 White Heart landed in Unicode 12.0 (2019). 🩷 Pink Heart finally shipped in Unicode 15.0 (2022) after being one of the most-requested emojis since 2016. Each color carries distinct meaning: 💛 is platonic friendship, 💚 signals nature or eco-consciousness, 💜 is compassion without romance, and 🖤 toggles between mourning, dark humor, and edgy sincerity depending on who's sending it.

Newest: Pink Heart

This category holds 159 emojis: hearts, zodiac signs, religious symbols, arrows, numbers, shapes, colors, and miscellaneous signs. It's the most technically diverse group in Unicode, mixing ancient symbols (☯️ Yin Yang, ☮️ Peace Symbol, ✡️ Star of David) with modern shorthand (✅ Check Mark, ♻️ Recycling, ♾️ Infinity). ♾️ Infinity has one of the strangest origin stories. It was originally encoded in Unicode 4.1 (2005) as the "permanent paper sign" for acid-free paper. It didn't get emoji presentation until Emoji 11.0 (2018). Since then, the neurodiversity community adopted it as an autism symbol (replacing the controversial puzzle piece), and the polyamory community uses the infinity heart as their flag icon.

🅱️ Blood Type B is the category's accidental meme king. Designed for Japanese blood type culture (where your blood type supposedly determines your personality), it was co-opted by meme culture in 2016 when people started replacing random consonants with 🅱️ in deep-fried ironic memes. The trend got so pervasive that r/dankmemes moderators banned it on November 6, 2017. Zodiac emojis (♈ through ♓) found their audience on TikTok's astrology community, where the #zodiacs hashtag has accumulated 479,000+ posts. Creators build "POV: you're a [sign] receiving this emoji" content that maps personality stereotypes to emoji reactions.
