Emoji dictionary π© Love Hotel emoji [luhv hoh-tel or hart hos-pi-tlΒ ih-moh-jee] What doesΒ π© Love Hotel emoji mean? Oh, boy. This emoji has two distinctly different ideas behind it. TheΒ love hotelΒ 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 reputeΒ (i.e., a bad reputation).

EmojiTerra When theΒ love hotelΒ or heart hospital emojiΒ 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 letterΒ 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 hereΒ π₯, 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 hotelΒ emoji now has a second name: the heart hospital emoji.
