I can't remember, Sara (and if it's a windows laptop - try this). Instead of doing on a number pad, use the little green numbers embedded on your alpha keys. I think that's how it works.

Hey Nikki, I don't know the quick keys to do it so what I do is open Character Map and just copy the little heart and paste here ♥

On Facebook, if you type < 3 together, it automatically turns it into a ♥.

You guys know you can always find the key combo to ANY symbol from any font based on the character map??
I can't recall how to pull it up for Mac, but in Windows, just type in charmap in the little run/search thing and it will pull up. Then select whichever font you need (may change depending on which forum you are in). That map will tell you all the different alt+number combos. You can also (for laptop users who don't want to mess with function key, etc.) can just select and copy the symbol from the charmap and paste it into your text.
