An emoji is a tone, not an icon.

A pink heart surrounded by sparkles and a starburst. Conveys love that feels new, cute or exciting — often used for crushes, favorite things, or a soft, feminine tone.

A red heart. Means love, passion and deep affection. Use it for partners, family and things you love.

A face surrounded by floating hearts. Conveys feeling loved or adoring something — warmer and more romantic than the plain heart-eyes face.

A smiling face with closed, smiling eyes. Conveys warm, genuine happiness, friendliness and contentment — gentler than the wide-open grin.

A face with tears of joy. Conveys laughing so hard you cry. Often used ironically for something awkward or unexpectedly funny rather than genuinely hilarious.

A crying face with a single tear. Conveys sadness, grief or disappointment — usually milder than the loudly crying face.

A pensive face with a downcast gaze. Conveys sadness, disappointment or quiet reflection — "thinking about something not great".

A face with a flat, unimpressed expression. Conveys irritation, displeasure or boredom — "not amused".

A red face with a frown and wrinkled brows. Conveys fury and rage — stronger than the plain angry face.

A face with a frown and angry eyes. Conveys anger, frustration and annoyance.

A face with steam blowing from the nose — a Japanese manga convention. Conveys triumph, determination, or being fed up after an effort.

A face with hearts for eyes. Conveys love at first sight, adoration, or finding something irresistible.
