A <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_hotel">love hotel</a> is a hotel that can be hired <a href="/smirking-face/" title="😏 Smirking Face">by the hour</a> instead of as <a href="/person-in-bed/" title="🛌 Sleeping Accommodation">accommodation</a> for the evening.

Sometimes mistaken for a get well soon emoji&nbsp;due to the similarity in appearance to the <a href="/hospital/" title="🏥 Hospital">hospital</a>. The Microsoft version of this&nbsp;emoji previously&nbsp;displaying <a href="/microsoft/windows-10/love-hotel/">a bed with a heart above it</a>.

Love Hotel

A timepiece set in advance to startle a person awake at the designated time with its two bells. That is, before hitting snooze.&nbsp;Appearance varies across platforms, but depicted as a classic, wind-up, bedside alarm clock, often red in color.

May be used for various content concerning alarms, alerts, <a href="/person-in-bed/">sleeping</a>, waking, and time more generally.

Alarm Clock

A hotel building,&nbsp;displayed on most platforms as a building with many windows and a letter H on the front.

Can be easily confused with the <a href="/love-hotel/" title="🏩 Love Hotel">Love Hotel</a>, or <a href="/hospital/" title="🏥 Hospital">Hospital</a> emoji.&nbsp;Microsoft <a href="/microsoft/windows-10/hotel/">previously</a>&nbsp;depicted this emoji as a&nbsp;bed.

Hotel

Represents a love letter or note, <a href="/valentines-day/">valentine</a>, or affectionate greeting card. Commonly used to convey various feelings or messages of love and happiness.

Facebook&rsquo;s envelope&nbsp;is pink, while&nbsp;Microsoft&rsquo;s envelope was <a href="/microsoft/windows-10-anniversary-update/love-letter/">previously</a> open.

Love Letter

A long, bulbous, bright purple eggplant, or aubergine in British English, shown with a leafy stem. Considered lucky in Japan to dream of an eggplant the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatsuyume">first night of the New Year</a>.&nbsp;

Widely used to represent a penis. Due to its phallic use, the hashtag&nbsp;<a href="https://instagram.com/explore/tags/🍆/" title="Browse #🍆 on Instagram">#🍆</a>&nbsp;was&nbsp;once&nbsp;banned (2015) on Instagram&#39;s search function.

Aubergine

Heart with Arrow

A classic red love heart emoji.

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.

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;

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.

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.

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.
