Have you ever wondered how people make those cute little ♥’s or ♣’s? Stop wondering and find out here.

If you are familiar with blogging, or networking, than I am sure you’ve seen the cute little heart’s and stars, along with music notes and crazy arrows…ever wondered how to make them? Well I am going to let you in on the secret, and it’s actually much simpler than you may think!

Here’s the secret:

You have to hold the alt key and a number at the same time. The number has to be from the number key pad.

  • alt + 1 = ☺
  • alt + 2 = ☻
  • alt + 3 = ♥
  • alt + 4 = ♦
  • alt + 5 = ♣
  • alt + 6 = ♠
  • alt + 7 = •
  • alt + 8 = ◘
  • alt + 9 = ○
  • alt + 10 = ◙

I think you get the point. You can press a series of numbers and come up with things like ( alt + 23) ↨ and you can push as many numbers as you’d like and they will come up with some symbol.

Now that you know the secret spice up your blog, you can even use them on Triond to spice up your profile information!
