heart with arrow

Corazón con flecha

Information

Cupid’s calling card, the Heart with Arrow is the “I just got emotionally critted” emoji. People drop it to signal a fresh crush, a successful flirt, or that one selfie that made them audibly gasp. In stan and meme land, it reads as “ship confirmed,” “down bad,” or playful thirst, and it pairs nicely with swoon-y captions and dramatic ALL CAPS. Used ironically, it can also mean “love hurts lol” after a roast or a chaotic meet-cute gone wrong.
On Apple/iOS, it’s a glossy pink heart skewered diagonally by a gold-tipped arrow, point aiming up-right, with pale fletching and a soft gradient shine—instant Valentine stationery energy. You’ll see it around Valentine’s Day, wedding posts, engagement reveals, and soft-launch relationship slides, but also in texts like “brb, Cupid sniped me at the grocery store.” It nods to classic Cupid/Eros imagery while echoing pop lines like “shot through the heart” for extra melodrama. Versatile for flirty DMs, romantic confessions, and over-the-top meme theatrics, this little icon basically screams: emotions, but make it cinematic.

Definition

Love that has been hit with Cupid's arrow. Hopelessly in love. iEmoji old name: Arrow through Heart.
