The Red Heart emoji is an ideogram that is used in communication to express care and as a romantic gesture.

Development and usage history

As the emoji became more popular, other heart colours were launched by Unicode. Since then, each heart color has been given its own meaning.[1]

In early 2022, Middle Eastern news publications suggested that sending a Red Heart emoji on WhatsApp in Saudi Arabia could amount to harassment and if convicted, the sender could serve a maximum sentence of two years in jail.[2]
