People wonder how other folks are using special symbols in their posts. It's actually very simple and works on any number of platforms. Some of these depend on the site involved. They may not allow you to post that symbol. But, all of these work for me on Facebook.
First, make sure your Num Lock is on. You've got to use the numpad on the right side of your keyboard. Press Alt, type the number, then release.:
Alt + 1 = ☻A smiley
Alt + 2 = ☺ another smiley
Alt +3 = ♥ Hearts
Alt + 4 = ♦ Diamonds
Alt + 5 = ♣ Clubs
Alt + 6 = ♠ Spades
Alt + 7, 8, 9, and 10 = • ◘ ○ ◙
Alt + 11 = ♂ Male Symbol
Alt + 12 = ♀ Female Symbol
Alt + 13 = ♪ Music Note 1
Alt + 14 = ♫ Music Note 2
Alt + 15 = ☼ Star?
Alt + 16 = ► Forward
Alt + 17 = ◄ Back?
Alt + 18 = ↕ up/down
Alt + 19 = ‼ no idea
Alt + 20 = ¶ carriage return
Alt + 21 = § paragraph symbol.
As you can see, the list could go on a very long time! This will answer most common questions. You can do other things, like add Greek letters like Alpha, Omega, Delta. Look to this site for a list of all the alt codes: http://www.alt-codes.net/
