Emoji dictionary or love hotel emoji or heart hospital emoji [luhv hoh-tel or hart hos-pi-tlย ih-moh-jee] What doesย ๐ฉ mean? Oh, boy. This emoji has two distinctly different ideas behind it. Theย love hotelย or heart hospital emoji depicts a building with both a pink heart and on some platforms the letter H emblazoned on the front. It is mostly used in reference to hospitals and health as well as to vacation resorts. Those uses are far from the reported original intent, which was to indicate a house of ill reputeย (i.e., a bad reputation). Related words sugar daddy, slut-shaming, puta Where does come from? EmojiTerra When theย love hotelย or heart hospital emojiย was created and approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 , it apparently meant a hotel where rooms may be rented by the hour, for … love. By the time it was added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015, the use had shifted. Maybe it’s the letterย H atop the building or the sweet pink heart over the entrance. It might be the fact that it actually looks a bit like the hospital emoji seen hereย ๐ฅ, depending on your viewing platform. Whatever it is, this is one of the most misused emojis we’ve come across; instead of being used to refer to a “love hotel,” it often just references hospitals and health care. It’s also used to mean a romantic resort or vacation getaway. So … a hotel for prostitution? Not so much. That’s why the love hotelย emoji now has a second name: the heart hospital emoji.

Guess you don’t need to say “whore house” very often in texts … Just Added 4th of July, boogaloo, shelfie, ACAB, yeet Note This is not meant to be a formal definition of like most terms we define on Dictionary.com, but is rather an informal word summary that hopefully touches upon the key aspects of the meaning and usage of that will help our users expand their word mastery.
