A heart being waved out from a happy face. The solid ♥ on the left is the heart, separate from the face. Just inside the open paren, ﾉ is a katakana glyph used as an arm extending leftward, waving — the face is sending the heart away from itself toward the reader. Inside the face, ´ and ` are closed content eyes and ∀ is a wide open smile.
The gesture in this kaomoji is outgoing. The arm and the heart together form a clear sending-motion: “this heart is for you.” Compared with passive heart-adjacent kaomoji (face-then-heart), this active version reads as deliberate affection — the character is choosing to send the heart, not just having one nearby.
Use it for active expressions of affection: greeting a friend, replying to a sweet post, ending a thank-you note with extra warmth. On Discord and Twitter/X it works as a friendly close to a message. On Instagram it pairs nicely with captions about people you love. The bold ♥ (filled rather than outlined ♡) makes the heart feel more committed.
In Japanese the matching gesture is ハートとどけ (hāto todoke — “sending you a heart”) or なげキッス (nage kissu — blown kiss, when paired with affection). Pair this kaomoji with words like だいすき, ありがとう♥, or simply それいけ！ (“go!”) as you symbolically launch the heart.
