Please can you allow the heart symbol / alt+3?

I just tried to type it on a very sad thread...it worked fine on preview but came out as a series of numbers when I pressed post

which looks rubbish.

Please - is there a way to enable it? You press alt then 3 and release both at once.

Thankyou if you can manage this.

...just a gentle bump, in case anyone's reading!

It would be so much fun to have alt codes. A whole new dimension. And I don't think other forums have them so we would maintain our 'je ne sais quoi' innit.

OH well done!

See we are building an excellent case here. There are loads of useful ones on that chart.

Why on earth can't we use them on here? Nobody would have to use the heart but the others are great too.

it's a tiny, teeny little musical note! Well, two actually. I think they are quavers but they are so small it's hard to tell.

Litr.

See I actually like that, DF. So you might be better off allowing me the heart so I forget instantly about the lickle pinky cloud

Ah Jareth. I wondered where I had seen the heart so much. Blardy facebook.

we are so much better than facebook. But still...I feel we could use a few extra symbols.

Have a random go on your numerical section and see what funky combos you can get to work. We could have hearts, clubs, erm...not sure what else yet.

It would bring an entire new dimension to gaming threads! People could play poker!!!

Radiatorlady it's what you get when you do the code for a 'club'

which is something like alt+ 1524 or something (that's wrong, I have no idea what I pressed)
