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.
Like us on Facebook. Love is in the air today, and images of two-lobed hearts are all over everything: candy, cards, decorations, you name it. That the heart is symbolic of love and passion isnât surprising. Ancient Greek and Roman thinkers, including Aristotle, thought the organ was the center of all emotions. Why the heart symbol you see everywhere in February doesnât look anything like an actual human heart, though, is a little less clear. The symbol goes at least as far back as the 1400s, when it appeared on European playing cards to mark one of the red suits, and it may even be older than that.
