The heart symbol (â¥) is used in slang expressions to indicate love or affection, sometimes with a connotation that the feeling is superficial or Horny. It is a play upon Milton Glaser's classic I Love New York logo (typeset I â¥ NY).
The first known depiction of a heart as a symbol of romantic love dates to the 1250s. It occurs in a miniature decorating a capital 'S' in a manuscript of the French Roman de la poire (National Library FR MS. 2086, plate 12).
