7. ? Two Hearts Emoji
Two hearts represent a romantic relationship for one, while they're the symbol of any warm but platonic relationship for another. And, the good news is that we're feeling a lot loved virtually and hopefully in reality as well. The other heart doesn't necessarily have to belong to a person.
