black heart

Symbol of malice

A black heart suggests cruelty, malice, or moral corruption—someone with a black heart lacks compassion or empathy: He had a black heart and cared for no one but himself.

The black heart emoji (🖤) has taken on additional meanings in digital communication, sometimes expressing dark humor, goth aesthetics, or ironic affection rather than evil.
