A Constellation of Astrology Emojis 🌌🔮

<p>A classic red love heart emoji.</p>

<p>The red heart ideograph&nbsp;is traditionally used for expressions of love and romance across many cultures, with this being amongst the most frequence use cases for this emoji.</p>

<p>However, the Red Heart emoji is also often used to express non-romantic positive sentiments, in part thanks to its use as one of the default reaction emoji options across many social messaging platforms (e.g. <a href="/instagram">Instagram</a>, <a href="/slack">Slack</a>, <a href="/whatsapp">WhatsApp</a>).</p>

<p>Additionally, as with the other color-based hearts, this emoji is often also used to express an affinity with or appreciation for various people, places, groups, objects, or ideas associated with the same color.</p>

<p>This is historically&nbsp;<a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/what-every-heart-emoji-really-means/">the most popular heart emoji</a>&nbsp;by a considerable distance and is amongst the most popular emojis of all time.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A similar&nbsp;emoji exists&nbsp;for the&nbsp;<a href="/heart-suit/" title="♥️️ Heart Suit">heart suit</a> in a deck of playing cards.</p>

<p>On <a href="/snapchat/" title="👻 Snapchat Emoji Meanings">Snapchat</a>, this emoji displays next to a friend&nbsp;when you have been #1 BFs with each other for two consecutive weeks.</p>

<p><em>Note: the Unicode Character Database (UCD)&nbsp;name &ldquo;Heavy Black Heart&rdquo;&nbsp;pre-dates color emoji, when the term referred to a solid, black ❤︎ heart character. See the glossary for information on the term&nbsp;<a href="/glossary/#black" title="📖 Glossary">black</a> in historic Unicode character names.</em></p>

Heavy Black Heart

<p>A <a href="/check-mark/" title="✔️ Heavy Check Mark">check mark</a> that displays a white outlined appearance. Shows&nbsp;on most platforms with a bright green rounded rectangle or circle surrounding it.</p>

<p>Android <a href="/google/android-4.4/check-mark-button/" title="✅ White Heavy Check Mark on Google Android 4.4">previously</a> displayed this as an outlined blue check mark / blue tick.</p>

<p><em>This emoji is not supported in Twitter / X names, possibly in an attempt to minimize confusion with a verified checkmark.</em></p>

<div id="professor_prebid-root">&nbsp;</div>

White Heavy Check Mark

<p>The glittering flashes of sparkles. One of the world&#39;s most popular emojis, it is generally depicted as a cluster of three, yellow&nbsp;four-point stars, with one large sparkle and two small ones to its left or right.</p>

<p>Commonly used to indicate various positive sentiments, including love, happiness, beauty, gratitude, and excitement, as well as&nbsp;newness or cleanliness.</p>

<p>May also be used as <a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/its-not-just-you-the-sparkles-emoji-is-everywhere/">a form of ✨emphasis✨ or to convey sarcastic or mocking tones</a>.</p>

<p>As of late 2023, an icon similar to the sparkles emoji is also often used within tech platforms to represent a feature that utilizes&nbsp;artificial intelligence.</p>

<p>Both <a href="/microsoft/windows-10-anniversary-update/sparkles/">Microsoft</a> and&nbsp;<a href="/twitter/twemoji-1.0/sparkles/">Twitter&rsquo;s</a>&nbsp;sparkles were&nbsp;previously&nbsp;multicolored, while&nbsp;Samsung&rsquo;s sparkles were previously depicted on a night sky, suggesting <a href="/sparkler/">firework sparklers</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="http://twitter.com/Twitter/status/1075074100412985345">Twitter&#39;s mobile app uses</a> ✨ Sparkles as a button users can tap to toggle between latest and top tweets on their timeline.</p>

<p>Similar emojis&nbsp;with less implied meaning include&nbsp;<a href="/star/">⭐ Star</a>, <a href="/glowing-star/">🌟 Glowing Star</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="/dizzy/">💫 Dizzy</a>.</p>

<div id="professor_prebid-root">This emoji predates emojis inclusion within <a href="/the-unicode-consortium">Unicode</a>. The earliest incarnation of this emoji could be found in Japanese emoji keyboards in <a href="/docomo/1999/sparkles">1999</a>, specifically within the <a href="/docomo">Docomo</a> emoji set designed by&nbsp;Shigetaka Kurita.</div>
