U+1FAF6 "🫶" Heart Hands Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1FAF6 "🫶" Heart Hands is a pictographic representation of two hands forming the shape of a heart with the fingers and thumbs, commonly used to convey love, affection, gratitude, or a warm welcome in digital communication. Added to the Unicode Standard in 2021 as part of Emoji 14.0, it fills a gap for a gesture that combines the universal symbol of a heart with the human touch of hands, allowing for more nuanced expression of care and positive emotion in text messages, social media, and online interactions. Its design typically shows two open hands with the index fingers and thumbs meeting to create the heart silhouette, often rendered with a yellow or skin tone tint depending on the platform, and it has quickly become a popular alternative to the standard heart emoji for emphasizing a personal, gestural form of endearment.
