The power of the black heart symbol is pretty amazing if you think about it.
[♥ ♡] How to Make the Black Heart Symbol/Emoji Text on Keyboard
In today’s article, you’ll learn how to use some keyboard (or alt code) shortcuts to make or type the Heart Symbol/emoji anywhere like Word/Excel using Windows or Mac.
Using the Black Heart Symbol Alt Code (Windows Only)
The Heart Symbol alt code is 3 (for black Heart) and 9825 (for white Heart). Even though the Heart Symbol does not have a dedicated key on the keyboard, you can still type it on the keyboard with the Alt code method.
To do this, open your Word document and place the insertion pointer where you need to type the symbol. Then press and hold the Alt key whilst typing the Heart Symbol Alt code (i.e. 3 or 9825) using the numeric keypad.
This method works on Windows only. And your keyboard must also have a numeric keypad.
Below is a break-down of the steps you can take to type the Heart Sign on your Windows PC:
- Place your insertion pointer where you need the Heart Symbol text.
- Press and hold one of the Alt keys on your keyboard.
- Whilst holding on to the Alt key, press the Heart Symbol’s alt code (3). You must use the numeric keypad to type the alt code. If you are using a laptop without a numeric keypad, this method may not work for you. On some laptops, there’s a hidden numeric keypad which you can enable by pressing Fn+NmLk on the keyboard.
- Release the Alt key after typing the Heart Sign Alt code to insert the Symbol into your document.
This is how you may type this symbol in Word using the Alt Code method.

This feature also works if you’ve inserted a heart into your document and you want to use it multiple times. Highlight the emoji you want to copy, choose Control + C, then paste it in the desired position by using Control + V.
Plenty of resources are available on the internet to find a heart emoji to copy. Sites such as GetEmoji.com and EmojiCopy.com have all the emojis you’d find on your phone plus some. Select the one you like, click Copy, and paste it to your document.
