BLACK HEART SUIT

About this character

The black heart suit (U+2665) is a typographic symbol rooted in French playing-card design, where it evolved from the cup or chalice suit of earlier tarot decks. It functions primarily as a visual shorthand for affection, love, or life, and is widely used in casual writing, social media, and branding. In programming, it appears as a Unicode character or HTML entity (`♥`), while designers employ it in logos, bullet points, and decorative patterns. Its solid black silhouette distinguishes it from the hollow white heart variant (U+2661), making it a flexible emblem across digital and print typography.
