The heart symbol or heart shape (â¥) is an ideograph used to express the idea of the heart in its metaphorical or symbolic sense as the center of emotion, including affection and love, especially (but not exclusively) romantic love.
The current common symbols â hearts, clubs, diamonds and spades â on playing cards likely developed from Germanic playing cards, which were drawn from the natural world and included hearts, acorns, bells and leaves. While hearts stayed the same, leaves morphed into spades, the acorns to clubs and the bells to diamonds.
