If there's anything anthropology has taught us, it's that the claim "X is a universal symbol that resonates across languages, cultures, and time zones" is almost certainly not the case. There are languages without nouns, languages with only two colors, languages with no tenses to differentiate time, etc. Maybe twitter meant "it's a universal symbol that resonates across cultures which derive from the european middle ages" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_(symbol) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_(symbol)
