Will it look the same for everyone?
Every vendor (Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung, WhatsApp and Facebook) draws ❣️ in its own style, so the colours or shape may differ a little for the person you send it to. The meaning stays the same, because the text always carries the same code point: U+2763 U+FE0F. It has been around for years, so practically every phone and computer in use today supports it.
The trailing U+FE0F (emoji variation selector) asks the system to draw a colour emoji instead of a black-and-white text symbol. It is included when you copy it from here.
