Where does the Blue Heart emoji 💙 come from?
The Blue Heart emoji 💙 first appeared as part of Unicode 6.0, a 2010 update to the universal text and character encoding standard maintained by the nonprofit organization Unicode. It is a blue-colored version of the Red Heart emoji (❤️) which is based on non-colored digital heart symbols originating in Japanese technology in the late 1980s and 1990s.
How is the Blue Heart emoji 💙 used?
The Blue Heart emoji 💙 is one of 12 colored heart emoji (and there are other emoji that incorporate the heart symbol in some way), which are often used in combination together: Red Heart ❤️, Pink Heart 🩷, Orange Heart 🧡, Yellow Heart 💛, Green Heart 💚, Light Blue Heart 🩵, Purple Heart 💜 , Brown Heart 🤎, Black Heart 🖤, Grey Heart 🩶, and White Heart 🤍 .
Despite nuances in their use based on color, all of the heart emoji are used extensively across digital communication in similar, wide-ranging ways to convey various forms of affection and positive emotions and behaviors, such as gratitude, happiness, and showing support. The Blue Heart emoji 💙 is used somewhat less for direct expressions of romantic or familial love and affection than the Red Heart ❤️ and Pink Heart 🩷 emoji are.
It is used in countless, idiosyncratic other manners to add emphasis in messages about people and things connected in some way to the color blue and its symbolism, from sports teams to social causes to fashion.
