Something of note: According to Wiki/TheOtherWiki, the exact origin of the '''♥''' symbol [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_symbol#History remains controversial]], since it doesn't take a doctor to realize that it looks nothing like an actual human heart; however, its existence as a stylized symbol seems to go back at least to medieval Europe, or maybe ancient Roman North Africa.

* In ''VideoGame/HuniePop'', the Passion tokens are pink puzzle tokens in the shape of a heart symbol, which increase your score multiplier as you match more of them in the match-three dating segments. Purple broken heart tokens may also appear on the board, and, naturally, you generally want to avoid matching these, on pain of a penalty to the points you'd earned up to that point in the date.
** After a successful third date with secret character [[spoiler:Celeste]], she will send a picture and a log entry detailing a time in which [[spoiler:she was molested by a tentacle monster while on an intergalactic bounty hunting mission]]. She suggests in the log that she isn't too bothered when this happens, however, and she signs it off with a heart emoticon.
* Hearts are used as currency in the ''VideoGame/KidIcarus'' games. They're also used as part of ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'''s DynamicDifficulty system, by which you wager the hearts you have to raise or lower the stages' difficulty.

* Naturally, the '''♥''' became the band logo of Seattle-based rock group Music/{{Heart}}, at least in their original Seventies incarnation as soft-rock country/folk band fronted by hippie chicks. The '''♥''' became synonymous with sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson, who fronted the group and wrote most of its material. The symbol was downgraded a little after their make-over as 1980's big-haired rock chicks performing stadium rock.
