Have you seen blog or twitter posts with special symbols like these?
“I ♥ cupcakes!”
”☺ Hey Cutie ☺!”
“Don’t stop the ♫!”
I stumbled on how to do this at work earlier this week. I needed a less than or equal to symbol: ≤.
The process is really simple.
First, make sure the “NUM LOCK” key is turned on for your keyboard.
Next, hold down the ALT key.
Finally, type the number of the symbol you want.
Here are a few:
Number/Symbol
1 ☺
2 ☻
3 ♥
4 ♦
5 ♣
6 ♠
14 ♫
171 ½
For a complete list, see Alt-Codes.net.
Linking up to these great blogs. Be sure to drop by and show them some ♥!
