heart shape

Romantic greeting outline

A heart shape is the stylized symbol (♥) representing love and affection, with two rounded lobes at the top meeting at a point below.

The design bears little resemblance to an actual human heart but has become universal shorthand for romantic feeling: She drew a heart shape in the sand, heart-shaped chocolates.

The form appears everywhere from Valentine's cards to emoji.
