Often you want to make your chat message special. For example, type hearts on the keyboard or emoticon. All this allows you to give your text the necessary shade. There is no separate key for this symbol. Therefore have to
use their set (universal tool) or toolbar (applicable only in a text editor, such as Word).
Apply ASCII
As noted earlier, the “heart” sign on the keyboard as a separate key is missing. But this does not mean that it cannot be introduced in this way. Everything is very simple - any character that is on the computer can be typed using an ASCII code. This method is very flexible and even allows you to insert a smiley into the text. Heart on the keyboard can be typed in several combinations. Several codes correspond to it: "3", "9829" and "9725". The first two of them correspond to the flooded heart, and the last does not.
To activate the ASCII code input, turn on the Num Lock key. Then we hold Alt and on the numeric keypad we successively type the code given earlier. After the holidays, all the keys and the desired character appears. By the way, to enter the emoticon, the code is “1” or “2”. The difference between them will be that the first is flooded, and the second is not. This method is universal - it works in all, without exception, applications. Especially convenient is the combination of Alt and "3" on the numeric keypad when the Num Lock key is on (its LED on the keyboard should be on). In addition, it is not so difficult to remember.
Word
Another way to type hearts on the keyboard is to use the Word text editor . For these purposes, you will have to use the "Insert" toolbar. To start, run this application and press the Alt key. A letter prompt will appear. You need to press the Russian letter "C". Then we do a similar action with "M". The insert symbol window opens. Similar actions can be performed with the mouse. Which way to choose is the user's own business. But the latter is simpler - it is recommended to use it in this case.
Next, using the marker navigation keys, we find the character we need, point to it and press Enter. After that, close the previously opened window. The desired character should appear. If necessary, hold Shift and simultaneously with it the left arrow. This will highlight this symbol. Then we copy it to the clipboard by simultaneously pressing Ctrl and “C”. Next, launch another application (for example, any of the installed browsers). Go to the desired input field and press Ctrl and V along with it to paste from the heart clipboard.
Summary
This short article details various ways of typing hearts on a keyboard. The easiest way to perform this operation is using the so-called ASCII codes. Moreover, in this case a very simple key combination is provided . As already mentioned, just turn on the Num Lock key first, then hold down the Alt key (no difference, right or left) and, without releasing it, press the numeric keypad "3". This is the easiest way how hearts can be typed on the keyboard. It is it that is recommended for most users of personal computers.
