How do you type the green heart on each platform?
| Where | How to type it |
|---|---|
| Any device | Click the 💚 at the top of this page. It goes straight to your clipboard, and you paste it with Ctrl+V on Windows or Cmd+V on a Mac. This is the only method that behaves identically everywhere. |
| Windows | There is no short alt code for this character. Press Win and the full stop key to open the emoji and symbol panel, then use the symbols tab and search for green heart. |
| macOS | Open the Character Viewer with Control+Command+Space and search for green heart. Unicode Hex Input only covers four-digit code points, and this character sits above that range. |
| Linux and ChromeOS | Press Ctrl+Shift+U, type 1f49a, then press Enter or the space bar. This works in GTK applications and with IBus. |
| Microsoft Word | Type 1F49A in the document, then press Alt and X together with the cursor immediately after the last digit. Word replaces the digits with 💚. |
| Google Docs | Insert, then Special characters, then paste U+1F49A or type green heart in the search box. You can also draw the shape in the sketch pad on the right. |
| HTML | Write 💚 or 💚. There is no standard named entity for this character. On a page served as UTF-8 the character itself also works. |
| CSS | Use content: "\1F49A" inside a ::before or ::after rule. Terminate the escape with a space if the next character is also a hexadecimal digit. |
| JavaScript | The escape \u{1F49A} produces this character inside a string literal, and the same escape is valid in JSON. |
