Coloured infinity hearts
A heart before ♾️ turns “forever” into “love forever”. Use the colour that matches your bio or your team; 🩷 🩵 and 🩶 are from Emoji 15.0 (2022), so older phones show them as a box.
Infinity love combos
For a partner, an anniversary caption or a couple bio. Text-only ones like ∞♡ take the colour of your words; the emoji ones stay in colour.
Best friends and family forever
Infinity is not only romantic: these say “friends forever” or “family forever” for a group chat name or a birthday story.
Aesthetic infinity lines
Short lines to put above or below a bio, or between the parts of a caption.
Infinity names and nicknames
Ready-made names with ∞ in them. Swap “Name”, “A” or “R” for your own letters. Anant is the Hindi word for infinite, which makes it a popular choice in India.
∞ or ♾️: which infinity sign should you use?
Use ∞ when you want plain text and ♾️ when you want a colour emoji. ∞ INFINITY has been in Unicode since version 1.1 (1993), so it shows almost everywhere and takes the colour of your text. ♾ PERMANENT PAPER SIGN was added in Unicode 4.1 (2005) to mark acid-free archival paper, and only became a colour emoji in Emoji 11.0 (2018).

| Unicode name | INFINITY (U+221E) | PERMANENT PAPER SIGN (U+267E) + VARIATION SELECTOR-16 |
| Looks like | A thin text sign in your font | A coloured icon drawn by your phone |
| Colour | Same as the text around it | Fixed, set by Apple, Google, Samsung or Microsoft |
| Instagram and TikTok display names | Accepted | Accepted |
| TikTok username (@handle) | Not accepted: letters, numbers, full stops and underscores only | Not accepted |
| Best for | Minimal bios, names, maths | Captions, stories, chats |
If ♾️ shows as a plain black ♾ in an app, the invisible VARIATION SELECTOR-16 after it was stripped; copying the emoji again from the table above usually fixes it.
What does ♾ mean in love?
In love, ♾ means “forever”: a love or a bond with no end. Couples put it between their initials, such as A ∞ R, and in anniversary captions. With friends it means “friends for life”, and with family it says the bond is permanent. It is a warm, serious sign, so it reads as a promise rather than a joke.
Its meaning comes from maths, where ∞ stands for something without limit. The shape is often linked to the lemniscate, a figure-of-eight curve, which is why a loop that never ends became a symbol of lasting love. Many more love sets sit on COOLMOJI, grouped by mood.
Infinity in Hindi: अनंत (anant)
The Hindi word for infinity is अनंत, written anant in English letters, from the Sanskrit ananta, “without end”. It is also a common name in India, which is why “Anant ∞” and similar styles appear in the names section above. People searching for the infinity emoji meaning in Hindi usually want exactly this: ♾️ means अनंत, forever.
