The Internet offers us various ways to do and accomplish things. Programs and applications are created to serve their specific purpose. They are programmed to served end-users’ needs. That also goes with using these applications and hardware that come with them.

Since MS Outlook is not a Windows program, inserting characters such as a heart symbol is a little uncomfortable to think of. This happens especially if we are not so familiar with using the keyboard shortcuts of ALT codes or Unicode.

​Well, here are the steps on how to type a heart symbol in MS Outlook:

• Launch MS Outlook. Click New, then Mail Message.
• In the To: box, type in the email address of the person you want to send the message to. Type in your Subject: for sending the email.
• Place your cursor where you want to heart symbol to be inserted.
• While holding the ALT button, press the number 3 and release it. Use the numeric keypad on the right side of your keyboard. Got the heart shape?
• IF not, turn on the Num Lock key located at the top –the right portion of the keyboard. Repeat step 4).
• If you are using a laptop where the numeric keypad is not available, use the Function (Fn) key. Turn the Fn key on, turn on the Num Lock key on. 

​Press ALT, then the number 3 that comes with the letter L on the keyboard. This should do the trick. Do not use the number 3 at the top of your laptop keyboard as it will not work.
