Red Heart Emoji
The standard red heart emoji. It's a two-code-point sequence, U+2764 plus U+FE0F, not a single scalar value - the variation selector is what tells a platform to render it as colored emoji artwork instead of plain text.

FAQ
- Why does the red heart emoji sometimes show as a plain black heart?
- It's a sequence: U+2764 (a plain heart character) followed by U+FE0F, a variation selector that requests emoji-style rendering. A field or font that ignores the variation selector falls back to showing the plain heart alone.
