Unicode name Black Heart · added in Emoji 3.0, 2016
What 🖤 means
The black heart is love in eyeliner: goth, elegant, wry. It can also carry solemn grief, standing where red would feel too bright.
If you are trying to read into it
The black heart is aesthetic more than mournful for most senders: it goes with a certain look and a certain kind of humour. It does carry grief and solidarity in the right context, so the surrounding message matters more than usual here.
