Mending heart Emoji

Smileys

A classic red heart wrapped in a white bandage. This graphic signals that a person is healing from an emotional or physical setback.

Usage Context

Used to tell friends or followers that you are bouncing back from a difficult breakup, a health issue, or a stressful period. It bridges the gap between feeling broken and being back to normal, often used alongside ❤️ or 🩹 to show the transition from hurt to healing.

History

Added in 2020 as part of Emoji 13.0, the mending heart was a direct response to global demand for a way to express recovery and resilience, moving beyond the permanent damage implied by the standard broken heart emoji 💔.
