The ๐ emoji represents a general sense of caring and compassion. Some emoji enthusiasts find the ๐ to be empathetic and non-romantic when compared to its other colorful counterparts. Ultimately, itโs up to you and your own personal preferencesโbut you should be safe sprinkling this into your everyday messages![1]
- โHope you have a good day today ๐โ
- โSo proud of you ๐โ

The ๐ emoji can also symbolize attraction and sensuality. Some people swear that ๐ emoji is perfect for flirting and booty calls. While it ultimately depends on the context of your text chat, this emoji could be worth a try if youโre chatting with your crush or SO.[2]

The purple emojis represent a userโs zodiac sign and birthday.

- โ: Aries (March 21 - April 20)
- โ: Taurus (April 21 - May 21)
- โ: Gemini (May 22 - June 21)
- โ: Cancer (June 22 - July 22)

1
The ๐ emoji represents any spiritual place of worship. People from all faith backgrounds can use this emoji to describe their religious activities.[7]
- โSorry, canโt talk now! Iโm in ๐โ
2
The โ๏ธ emoji stands for Christianity. Also known as the โLatin Cross,โ this symbol universally represents Christianity. If you spot this on someoneโs social media profile or post, they probably identify as a Christian.
- The โฆ๏ธ emoji is an alternative to the Latin cross. While still attached to Christianity, it represents the Eastern Orthodox Church specifically.[8]
3
Judaism is represented by โก๏ธ. The โก๏ธ emoji includes a Star of David, which is a symbol traditionally associated with Judaism. People of the Jewish faith may use this emoji to showcase their spirituality online.
- The ๐ emoji symbolizes a menorah for Hanukkah, which is an important holiday on the Jewish calendar.
4
The โช๏ธ emoji represents Islam. The star and crescent is widely associated with the religion of Islam, and is often used by people identifying as Muslim.
5
The ๐๏ธ emoji symbolizes Hinduism. The symbol on this emoji is actually the Sanskrit letter for Om, which represents a sense of oneness in the Hindu religion. If you notice this emoji in someoneโs social media profile, itโs safe to assume that they identify as someone of Hindu faith.
- The ๐ฏ emoji is also connected with Hinduism, since the symbol pays homage to rangoli, an Indian art form.
6
Buddhism is represented by the โธ๏ธ emoji. Also known as the wheel of Dharma, this symbol encapsulates the sense of self-reflection and growth that defines the Buddhist faith. People who use this emoji likely identify as Buddhist themselves.
7
The โฏ๏ธ emoji signifies Taoism or Confucianism. Traditional Chinese faiths like Taoism and Confucianism revolve around a belief in the duality and interconnectedness of life, which is easily visualized with the classic yin-yang symbol. People who use this emoji may identify with a specific Chinese faith, or they might just be using the yin-yang symbol aesthetically. It all depends on context!
8
The โ๏ธ emoji represents atheism to some people. On its own, the interconnected ovals typically represent the subject of science. However, since itโs colored purple like the other religious emojis, some believe that the scientific symbol represents atheism, or the belief that God doesnโt exist.

The โฎ๏ธ emoji is a universal symbol for peace. While part of the religious emojis, the peace sign hardly carries the same spiritual weight as its purple neighbors. The peace sign stands forโฆwell, peace, rather than a specific belief system.
- โHoping for world peace someday โฎ๏ธโ
2
The ๐ช emoji can stand for wealth, mysticism, and Snapchat video messages. A lot of people attribute the color purple with money and affluence, making it a great emoji for more material social media posts and texts. Other people associate the color purple with mysticism and use the emoji for more contemplative messages. Naturally, some people just take the emoji at face value and use it to represent a Snapchat video message notification.[9]
- โCheck out my new ride ๐๐ชโ
- โAre we really alone in the universe? ๐ชโ
- โOpen up your Snap!!! ๐ช๐ชโ
3
The ๐ฃ emoji often symbolizes a sense of calm or luxury. Light purple is a pretty chill color and is a great way to emphasize messages or captions about rest and relaxation. The color purple is also associated with royalty, which makes the ๐ฃ emoji a great accent to more luxurious social media posts.[10]
- โLoving this lavender-scented candle ๐ฃโ
- โFinally saved up for a Michael Kors bag ๐๐ฃโ
4
Use ๐ to highlight something visually beautiful. While not as popular as the other colorful hearts in the emoji lexicon, the purple-and-white heart is a great way to highlight the physical beauty of something, like a tasteful centerpiece or holiday decoration.[11]
- โJust got my Christmas lights up! ๐๐โ
5
The ๐ emoji represents an ID requirement. This emoji is pretty self-explanatoryโyou need to be a certain age to do a certain activity. People might use it when planning to hit up a club or other age-restricted place with their friends.[12]
- โDo you think they check ๐?โ
- โMake sure you bring your ๐ tonightโ
6
The โ emoji bears the symbol of Ophiuchus, the 13th zodiac sign. While not a part of the official zodiac, Ophiuchus still gets its own purple astrology emoji (if youโre using Apple or Samsung emojis, anyway). Googleโs Ophiuchus emoji is a cerulean color, while WhatsAppโs is maroon.[13]
- The Ophiuchus symbol resembles a capital โUโ with a squiggly line going through it.
7
Add a quirky, alien aesthetic to your messages and posts with ๐พ. Also known as the โAlien Monster Emoji,โ this purple pixelated pal represents everything alien and out-of-this-world. Some people use this 8-bit-style emoji when chatting about games and computers, too.[14]
- โJust got my old Atari fixed up ๐พโ
