Usage notes
- The design of this symbol varies by platform and emoji set. The most common design, however, is a pink heart with yellowish stars indicating sparkling.
- Until the approval of the pink heart emoji in Unicode 15.0 and its addition in Emoji 15.0 in 2022, the sparkling heart emoji was used a replacement in some emoji sequences due to its pink color. See 💖💜💙 and 💖💛💙.
