Rendered as the real organ — chambers, arteries, and all — the anatomical-heart emoji stands in for the stylized red heart symbol. It's used for literal heart health, cardiology, and medical content, so 'heart' conversations about biology don't have to borrow the romantic ❤️ instead.
What 🫀 means
A realistic version of the human heart, with veins, arteries, and all the natural stuff. This is a very recent addition to the emoji family and thus would take a while till it's available on all platforms.
The 🫀 Anatomical Heart signifies cardiology related aspects on the surface. But, this emoji can also suggest trueness and a sense of being raw, alive, unafraid, and still beating no matter what.
How and when to use it
- If you're truly, madly and in the rawest form in love with someone, send them the 🫀 emoji to show that your heart beats for them (it's quite impressive to be realistic, you know).
- You can also use 🫀 while you and your anatomy buddies are hanging out and talking about school/college stuff related to the subject, of course (it's just weird to keep popping in anatomical hearts in random chats otherwise).
- If you've been busy doing some cardio, send 🫀 to whomever you're flaunting that news to.
- If you're strictly recommending someone to do cardio, send 🫀.
- If you're sending someone a list of the best foods, routines, and lifestyle for the heart, use 🫀.
- 🫀 also signifies health and a healthy heart, overall.
