There are so many posts on Facebook every day. Your friends write about their activities and emotions. It happens quite often that you think how boring this is and who might care about it. But sometimes there are funny and special characters within the mass of posts. Signs like ♥, ☼, ☎ make the typeface less monotonous. But how can you add these characters, emoticons and symbols to your status updates, comments and chats? Check it out:
Characters by key sequences (ALT-Symbols)
To produce ALT symbols on windows, press and hold the ALT key and, while holding it, enter a special number combination. You have to use the numbers on the right side of the keybord for entering the ALT symbols. If you don’t have a numeric keypad (laptops often don’t have one), you need to hold both the ALT and Fn key and then press the (coloured) numbers that you can find next to the letters on your keyboard. Don’t use the numbers on top of your keyboard as they don’t work to create symbols.
For example:
Alt + 1 ☺ Alt + 2 ☻ Alt + 3 ♥ Alt + 4 ♦ Alt + 5 ♣ Alt + 6 ♠ Alt + 7 • Alt + 8 ◘ Alt + 9 ○ Alt + 10 ◙ Alt + 11 ♂ Alt + 12 ♀ Alt + 13 ♪ Alt + 14 ♫ Alt + 15 ☼ Alt + 16 ► Alt + 17 ◄ Alt + 18 ↕ Alt + 19 ‼ Alt + 20 ¶ Alt + 21 § Alt + 22 ▬ Alt + 23 ↨ Alt + 24 ↑ Alt + 25 ↓ Alt + 26 → Alt + 27 ← Alt + 28 ∟ Alt + 29 ↔ Alt + 30 ▲
Alt + 31 ▼
You can also create a heart by typing in the following key sequence:
