Insert Special Characters like heart and music symbol in chat and facebook


Click the above image to see the text clearly



To obtain an ALT Character:
  1. Make certain that the Num Lock key has been pressed to activate the numeric key section of the keyboard.
  2. Depress the Alt key.
  3. While the Alt key is depressed, type the proper sequence of numbers (on the numeric keypad) of the ALT code from the table above.
  4. Release the Alt key, and the character will appear.
  5. On a laptop computer, there usually is no numeric keypad. So, instead, depress the Fn (function) key, then the Alt key, then the numerical code sequence. The numbers are on the fronts of certain keyboard keys: M=0, J=1, K=2, L=3, U=4, I=5, O=6, 7=7, 8=8, and 9=9.






It is very simple to add the various special characters like these into status updates on orkut or facebook and also to chat messages and stuff.


Just press the [Alt] key on your keyboard and tap out the number sequence, then release the "Alt" key. The special character would come up in the place where the text cursor was.
