White Heart Suit

White Heart Suit at U+2661 is an outline heart symbol from the Miscellaneous Symbols block, originally aligned with card-suit notation but now more often read as a simple hollow heart. It represents the hearts suit when a text needs the unfilled or “white” version rather than the solid heart suit. In playing-card references, bridge writing, and card-game diagrams, it can mark the heart suit alongside the other suit symbols, especially in plain-text hand records or teaching material. For example, a bridge hand may show ranks grouped under ♡ when a style distinguishes outline suits from filled ones. Outside card notation, it is widely used in casual text, usernames, captions, and fan communities as a softer or more decorative heart than the filled heart. People use it to signal affection, appreciation, aesthetic style, or “love” without the visual weight of a solid black heart. It is also common in kaomoji and decorative separators, where its hollow shape fits light, minimal, or pastel text styles.
