Rotated Heavy Black Heart Bullet ❥
Symbol Meaning
Researchers still discuss the origins of the heart symbol. It seems like nowadays the initial meaning doesn't really matter. Every continent, country, and culture perceives heart the same — as a synonym of the verb “love” in its widest sense.
Unicode features about 30 various symbols and emojis with a heart. One of them is a rotated heavy black heart, used for marking positions in bullet lists. Use it according to its intended purpose — for example, instead of a full stop or a bullet mark when enumerating points. Moreover, you can add it in a complex ornament made of multiple dingbats. If what you need is a classic heart without rotation, check out the bold symbol
or the white heart
