What does the ๐Ÿ’› (yellow heart) emoji mean?

  1. 1
    Affection and friendship. The ๐Ÿ’› emoji is pretty platonic compared to the other hearts of the emoji lexicon. If emojis could talk, the ๐Ÿ’› would say something like โ€œYou mean a lot to me,โ€ โ€œI love you like a parent/sibling,โ€ or โ€œIโ€™m so glad to have you in my life.โ€[1]
    • If your crush texts you a ๐Ÿ’›, thereโ€™s a good chance they just see you as a friend.
  2. 2
    Positivity, warmth, and happiness. The sunny color of this emoji gives off plenty of warm and fuzzy vibes, and is a good way to share your great mood with the people in your life.[2] Some people even use this emoji to represent literal warmth, like a selfie taken on the beach or in the bright sunlight.
