How to Type a Heart Symbol on Your Computer Keyboard

Online conversations can be easy misinterpreted because you do not see the other persons body language or facial expressions. Fortunately, there are special characters and symbols you can incorporate into these conversations to help define your tone and express your personality as you create a status update on a social networking site or send an instant message. You can type a heart symbol on your keyboard using alt codes, an HTML entity or a combination of symbols and numbers.

Instructions

    1

    Hold down the Alt and 3 keys simultaneously. A heart symbol will appear.

    2

    Enter (without quotation marks) into an HTML environment. The output of this HTML code entity is a heart symbol.

    3

    Enter the < symbol followed by the number 3. The symbol <3 (without quotation marks) represents a sideways heart.
