Unicode Version 17.0

💙

U+1F499 "💙" Blue Heart is a graphical symbol in the emoji set that represents a blue heart, distinct from the more common red heart. It was added to the Unicode Standard in 2010 as part of Unicode 6.0 and is encoded in the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block. The blue heart often conveys feelings of deep affection, loyalty, trust, or support, and it is frequently used to show solidarity with causes like autism awareness or to represent platonic love and tranquility. Its cool blue color differentiates it from the passion of a red heart or the romantic associations of a pink heart, making it a versatile icon for calm, compassionate, and sincere emotional expression.
