Broken Heart Emoji 💔

What 💔 means

A red heart that's shattered in between; forming two sharp-edged pieces of the same heart. This emoji may vary in color and overall finish across different platforms.

The 💔 Broken Heart emoji signifies hurt, pain, being broken or shattered by someone or something. It suggests a feeling of sadness, emptiness, disappointment, and even regret.

How and when to use it

• If you felt your heart break into pieces because of something someone did or said, send this emoji to them.
• You can also send this emoji while talking about that heartbreak to a close someone.
• This emoji can also be used in a casual context of showing utter disappointment, like your bestie telling you about showing up at a party without a shower.
