Also known as: broken heart, heartbreak, sad, lost love, emotional pain
The Broken Heart (💔) emoji shows a red heart split in two. It represents heartbreak, emotional pain, loss, and grief. Unlike ❤️ which is about love and connection, 💔 is explicitly about love that has been damaged or lost. Use it for romantic heartbreak, general sadness, or empathy. The visual of the cracked heart makes the pain feel tangible.
