Ever wonder how your friends or other people get to add a heart shape symbol or a music note on their Facebook Status? Well, worry no more coz here is a list of the symbols/characters and a simple ‘How to’ guide to get it done…

First, you have to set your keyboard to ‘Num Lock’. Next, hold down the ‘ALT‘ button and press the following number/s:

1 – ☺
2 – ☻
3 – ♥
4 – ♦
5 – ♣
6 – ♠
7 – •
8 – ◘
9 – ○
10 – ◙
11 – ♂
12 – ♀
13 – ♪
14  – ♫
15 – ☼
16 – ►
17 – ◄
18 – ↕
19 – ‼
20 – ¶

It’s just easy right? Now, go on and try to make your status on Facebook with these symbols. ;)

By the way, for those who are using Notebooks or Laptops, you can press the Fn and Alt then the number of the character of your choice. In my case, since I don’t have a Num Lock key on my Laptop, I just Press FN + Alt + 3 and then I got the ♥ heart symbol. :)
