How To Create All Those Sweet Little Symbols on Facebook

Do you envy that cute little heart (♥) symbol or that cool music note (♪♫) on your friend's status message. If you are one of those people who don't know how to create special symbols and characters with your keyboard, then this is for you. Well, it’s pretty simple and you don't have to be a hard core techie to do it. Here's how:

Just press the ‘alt’ key and then type a number code on the numeric keypad (the number pad on the right hand side of the keyboard). If you’re on a laptop, you have to press ‘NumLk’ (Number Lock) first.
