🩶 Grey Heart Emoji — Meaning & Usage
Smileys & People📋 Copied 4.6K times
Description
The newest addition to the heart family (Unicode 15.0, 2022), the grey heart occupies an unexpectedly emotional space. People use it for grief and loss — a step between 🤍 (white heart, purity/memorials) and 🖤 (black heart, dark vibes). It's also become the minimalist's heart of choice, fitting perfectly into muted, neutral aesthetics on Instagram. In some contexts it conveys emotional numbness or detachment — "I don't even have feelings about this anymore 🩶." It's the most understated heart, which is exactly why some people gravitate toward it.
When to Use
Use for neutral affection, balance, or to express subdued emotions.
Example Usage
- “Some days are just grey and that's okay 🩶”
- “Muted tones only for this feed 🩶”
- “Not over it, not under it, just... through it 🩶”
