white heart
Definitions & examples
Used for minimalist aesthetics, weddings, or messages about loss and remembrance. It conveys tenderness without the intensity of ❤️.
In Japanese chats, 🤍 often suggests innocent affection or idealized love, similar to the “white” purity trope in anime or J-pop lyrics. It’s seen as gentle, dream-like, and sincere rather than romantic heat.
In group chats or flirt contexts, 🤍 can look distant or overly formal—if you mean warmth or passion, 💗 or ❤️ might fit better.
