WTF do all the Heart Emojis Mean? You Won't Believe What We Found Out! (2024)

Today I had the desire to understand the question of how my diverse group of peers perceived the #emojis I use online. Naturally, as an #engineer, I started playing with several prompts in OpenAI 's #gpt3 playground to determine the Universal definitions of each Heart Emoji.

1❤️, 2 🧡, 3💛, 3💚, 4💙, 5💜, 6💟, 7🖤, 8🤍, 9🤎, 10💔, 11❤️ 🔥, 12❤️ 🩹, 13❣️, 14💕, 15💞, 16💓, 17💗, 18💖, 19💘, 20💝

It quickly became apparent that the heart emojis had different definitions based on geographical and demographic context.Scroll down to the appendix below to view sample [Prompt] results

The key insight and takeaway for me was,

"It's time for us to create a new keyboard plug-in that provides a Context-based Look-up to help understand each other better. Imagine having the ability to double tap on aword or emojiin online text and see a personalised definition based on the author's world views."

Imagine there are three initial layers to this double tap;

1. Globaldefinition curated by linguistic experts and up/down voted by the Wisdom of the Crowd
2. Localdefinition based on geography/demographics/subcultures/domains
3. Personaliseddefinition based on the author's world views

Moch use-case; I feel resonance with a purple heart emoji

{Action: Double Tap 💜}

• Global 💜 can symbolise spirit, mystery, magic, or royalty.
• Local💜 interpretations include expressing love or admiration, indicating sympathy or condolence, or simply indicating something is very special or important.
• Personal(Luke-ldw-108) 💜 to me, represents an abundant love and appreciation for humanity and all living things.
