Black Heart Suit Alt Code and Symbol

The Alt code for Black Heart Suit is 3. Hold Alt, type 3 on the numeric keypad, then release Alt. Black Heart Suit also has the Unicode codepoint U+2665, so you can type it with Alt+9829 on Windows, search for U+2665 in macOS's Character Viewer, use ♥ in HTML, or \2665 in CSS. If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly — the Alt key method requires a physical numpad. The code comes from the OEM console picture table, so the ♥ picture appears only when an OEM raster font is active; in a modern application using a TrueType font the same keystroke may insert nothing visible or a control character. HTML also defines the named entity ♥ for Black Heart Suit, but the numeric form ♥ is safer when compatibility is uncertain.
