I cannot tell you the origins of the symbol, but if you want to make it on your computer, do the following :\n\nGo to: Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Character Map. You should find it there (scroll down a bit) where you can copy and paste.\n\nLike so :  ∞

A good way to do that kind of thing is to click start - run and type in charmap and click ok. It lets you view and paste any symbol possible.

You can go to START>>PROGRAMS>>ACCESSORIES>>SYSTEM TOOLS>>CHARACTER MAP>> then choose the symbol from the list and click copy.\n\nOr do what Mikah said.

If you use a font such as webdings or wingdings, or if you go to "insert symbol" in the drop down menu, then find the heart on the list, it will display a key code on the bottom that will automatically insert the star for you.  You can also set your own key code for it.

If you're talking about this: ♥ then all you have to do is press Alt and 3 on the number keypad at the same time. Some fonts don't support that character, though. So if you end up getting a ? or some other symbol, try changing the font.

Hold down ALT and type in 0169.\n\nThere is a program built in to windows 2000, ME and XP (for 95/98 you might need to install it) called CHARACTER MAP. In Character map you can click on any of the symbols and it will give you the key combonation you need to press in any order as well as the MS unicode. To get to the character map Click START > ALL PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > SYSTEM TOOLS > CHARACTER MAP.\n\nIn Microsoft word you can also get the same key combinations by clicking on the INSERT menu and selecting SYMBOLS. if you go and look it says the shortcut key for the copyright sign is ALT+CONTROL+C\n\nAnother way to get the copyright sign in a microsft word document. Type 00A9 and press ALT+X.\n\nDon't forget to come back and vote for the best answer.\n\nEDIT: the (c) method will only work if Microsoft Word's Autotext/Auto correct is enabled.
