About the black heart symbol
The character is read or spoken as "black heart." It is an emoji that depicts a solid, dark-colored heart, distinct from the more common red heart. It is most often used in digital communication to convey a range of emotions or concepts that are darker, more serious, or more somber than those associated with a red heart, such as sorrow, grief, a dark sense of humor, or a preference for gothic or alternative aesthetics. It can also represent solidarity, mourning, or a love for things that are dark or mysterious.
