Meaning
This is the “emoji meaning / emoji meaning all / emoji meanings chart” hub for Symbolstacks. Official Unicode names are a start. Everyday use on WhatsApp, Snapchat, iMessage, and Instagram is often looser. The picture changes by phone (iPhone vs Android); the meaning stays in the same neighborhood.
Heart colors: ❤️ red — love. 💙 blue heart — trust, friendship, support, or calm affection (“what does a blue heart emoji mean?”). 🤍 white heart — sincere, peaceful, or pure support. 🖤 black heart — grief, dark humor, or goth style. 😍 heart-eyes — crush, “I love this,” strong admiration. People also search heart-eyes on a black background for stickers; the emoji itself has no background — paste 😍 on a black layer in an editor.
White heart vs White Hart: 🤍 is the emoji. “White Hart Lane,” White Hart pubs, inns, and hotels are place names in the UK — not this symbol. If you meant a stadium or a pub, this page will not help; if you meant the heart, copy 🤍 here.
Hands (WhatsApp and everywhere): 🤝 handshake — deal or thanks. 👍 like/ok. ✌️ peace or bye. 🤞 luck. 👏 applause. 🙏 please, thanks, or prayer. 👋 hello. See the Handshake and Hands set pages for copy buttons.
Sparkles ✨ add shine or ✨emphasis✨. Skull 💀 in memes usually means “I’m dead” from laughing. Peach and eggplant stay family-safe here as fruit and vegetable first.
Snapchat and WhatsApp do not publish a secret second dictionary. Slang is the same informal English used in those apps. A “chart” is just a list like this plus the copy grids on our emoji set pages.
Origin
Emoji began on Japanese phones and were standardized by Unicode; Apple, Google, and Samsung each ship their own artwork for the same code points.
Cultural variations
US and UK slang can differ. iPhone art is often treated as the default look in the West. Workplace chats use hearts more literally; friend chats use more slang. Snapchat streaks and WhatsApp groups do not change official meanings.
Frequently asked questions
What do the heart emoji colors mean?+
❤️ red is classic love. 💙 blue often means trust or friendship. 🤍 white is sincere or peaceful support. 💜 purple is admiration. 🖤 black can mean grief, dry humor, or a darker aesthetic. 💛 is often friendship; 💚 care or, sometimes, envy.
What does a blue heart emoji mean?+

🤍 white heart: warmth without heat — peace, sympathy, or clean aesthetic. 🖤 black heart: sorrow, sarcasm, or goth style. Read the rest of the message.
Is White Hart Lane or a White Hart pub the same as the white heart emoji?+
No. White Hart Lane (stadium and station) and White Hart pubs and hotels are UK place names. The white heart emoji is 🤍. This site is about the emoji, not those venues.
What does the heart eyes emoji mean?+
😍 means strong liking or a crush — “I love this” or “you look great.” For a black-background sticker, paste 😍 onto a black layer in an editor; the emoji has no built-in background.
What do emoji mean on Snapchat or WhatsApp?+
The same everyday meanings as anywhere else. Snapchat and WhatsApp do not assign a hidden official chart. Friendship, hearts, and fire on Snapchat follow the same slang as other apps, plus Snapchat’s own friendship-emoji list in its settings (that list is Snapchat’s product, not Unicode).
Is there an emoji meanings chart for all emoji?+
A full legal chart of every emoji would be huge and go stale. Use this page for the most-searched meanings, then copy any character from our Smileys, Hearts, Hands, and other emoji sets.
What do hand emoji mean on WhatsApp?+
🤝 deal or thanks. 👍 ok/like. ✌️ peace. 🤞 luck. 👏 well done. 🙏 please or thanks. 👋 hi. WhatsApp does not change those readings.
What does the handshake emoji mean?+
Agreement, a deal, or respectful thanks. Full copy-and-meaning notes are on the Handshake emoji page.
Do emoji meanings change on iPhone?+
The official meaning stays the same. Only Apple’s drawing changes. Copy-paste still sends the same character to Android.
What does the peach or eggplant emoji mean?+
Officially 🍑 is a peach and 🍆 is an eggplant. Informal slang exists; keep them literal if you want a family-safe read.
What does the upside down smiley face mean?+
🙃 usually marks irony, awkwardness, or a smile covering frustration.
Where can I copy all emoji?+
Use Symbolstacks’s emoji set pages (Smileys, Hearts, Hands, Food, and others). Open Skull, Sparkles, or Handshake when you want one symbol explained in depth.
