The Character Map on your pc has a heart under.  "symbols".\n\nGo to "start" "programs" "accessories" "system tools"...then "character map"....scroll down to symbols.  (You can use your arrow up and down keys to get there faster.)\n\nGood Luck.\n\nHold down the ALT key and then press numbers on the num pad. When you let go, it will type a symbol such as this smiley face: ☺ (ALT + 1).\nA heart is ALT + 3: ♥. You can press more than one number, though, such as ALT + 1 + 3: ♪. Similar things are usually grouped together, so ♥ is ALT + 3, ♦ is ALT + 4, ♣ is ALT + 5, and ♠ is ALT + 6. Experiment and you will find many more.\n\nAnother way of doing it is to type special codes for certain entities such as &hearts ; (without the space inbetween the code and the semicolon) which is ♥. Here is a list of a bunch of them: http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40...\n\nIf you're using Windows then a third way is to go to start > all programs > accessories > system tools > and character map (or just go to run and enter charmap). Then search for what you want, select it, copy it, and paste it wherever you want. For example, I found this in character map: ♫.   I found this under another answer.

One way is to use the Character Map option. Click start > programs > accessories > system tools > character map.  You can choose from a single note ♪ or a double note ♫.\n\nplrr

You could always check on google for ASCII codes, WWW.org, for HTML help, or get a UK keyboard.

You have bad character mapping.\n\nStart --> All Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools --> Character Map\n\nCheck on Advanced View\n\nMake sure Unicode is selected\n\nIf that doesn't fix it, try using a different font set.\n\nIf that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas.

In windows :\nDownload the required font and install it in the fonts directory. Use the character map to type in. Alternatively, change the default language in the 'Regional and Language Tab' under XP (Varies from OS to OS).

The EMACS text editor has a decode buffer mode. It's a little fiddly to use, but it allows you to apply any simple substitution cipher.\n\nIt should be easy to write a simple decoder using JavaScript / HTML by manipulating ASCII code values.\n\nEither way gets more complex if you want to decode accents.

I suppose it depends on WHERE you are taking the symbol placement action.  If it's in Microsoft Wrd, choose the "insert" file choice and then choose "symbol."  You can make keyboard shorcuts for the ones you want to employ.\n\nThere are a few downloadable foreign-language programs that give you an onscreen icon you can click to insert symbols from other languages into text in a web browser.  You have to search "translation" on google to find them and install these programs.  I can't FINd the !@#$#@! edition I used to have here because I had to reload everything on a new hard drive lately - but they are out there and very handy.\n\nAnd oh, by the way - the other answers are right - you want Greek characters. However, they are now adopted into our own tongue as scientific symbols.
