🖤 Black Heart Emoji: Meaning and Uses

The Black Heart emoji shows a solid black heart. It can represent sorrow, dark aesthetics, emo or goth style, and affection with a less sugary edge.

People often use it sincerely in alternative fashion circles, but it also works as deadpan affection or dark humor. After a grim joke, it can signal "I know that was terrible." In memorial posts, it may express grief, so the surrounding message does most of the work.
