Want to include cute little symbols in your Twitter posts?
Ever wonder how people type those little symbols in their Twitter posts? My pal Sherman Hu pointed me in the right direction. Thanks Sherm!
A special thanks to this website, where I was able to find what I needed: http://www.alt-codes.net/
How To Use Alt Code Characters
- Make sure that you switch on the Number Lock on your keyboard.
- Hold down the ALT key (left alt key).
- And type the number of which alt code you want to get.
Example 1
For example the decimal alt code of heart is 3
Press and hold the ALT key and type 3 then you will get ♥
Example 2
For example the decimal alt code of one half is 171
Press and hold the ALT key and type 171 then you will get ½
