What is the purpose of Solution Explorer in Visual Studio?

Solution Explorer is a special window that enables you to manage solutions, projects, and files. It provides a complete view of the files in a project, and it enables you to add or remove files and to organize files into subfolders.

I believe you are referring to a signal icon. The heart is shown over types / members when they are internal (C#) or Friend (VB.NET). The meaning of the icons is documented on Microsoft Docs:

  • enter image description here Friend/Internal. Accessible only from the project.
