Hi, this is probably such a dumb question but I really don't know anything about computers.

I was just wondering how you can put hearts and other characters on your myspace or your aim profile, etc. I saw many charts with like, codes or number codes but I don't understand how and where to use them. Also, I tried copying the codes but the characters would not show up. If you are patient enough, please explain to me in detail how to do this because like i said, I don't know anything about computers.

Btw, sorry if this topic was posted already. I looked thru the first 5 or 6 pages of this forum and couldn't find anything on this topic. Then I got lazy.

Thanks!

Yes, you can. But there are certain codes to use. Like if you want a heart, you have to type in "&hearts ;" without the space. Click here to see all the characters you can use. (:

Thanks for the reply. I already tried that but the character wouldn't show up on my computer. It would just say "&hearts ;". Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

Nonono. Haha. Sorry. I had to put in a space because on the forums, you`ll see the heart but not the code. So type in

Actually, no. On AIM, I think you can copy/paste the characters in though. (: Glad you got it.

In aim profiles you can't. But you can try looking through windings and webdings fonts for it. I know one of them has it.
