broken heart

U+1F494 · Emoji 0.6 · Smileys & Emotion

Overview

A red heart split cleanly down the middle defines Broken Heart, a compact symbol of heartbreak and grief. Filed under the heart subgroup of Smileys & Emotion, it carries the Unicode identifier U+1F494 and belongs to the original 2015 emoji baseline. The glyph communicates the end of a relationship, mourning, or any deep emotional wound, and its CLDR keywords include broken, crushed, lonely, and heartbroken. Unlike the many colored whole-heart variants used for affection, the fracture running through this design signals loss instead of love. It commonly appears as :broken_heart: in song lyrics, farewell messages, and posts about disappointment. Across platforms the two halves are drawn slightly apart, emphasizing the break as the focal point of the image.

A red heart split down the middle. Used to express heartbreak, grief, loss, or the pain of a relationship ending.
