Cool List of Alt Codes and Text Decorations for Twitter & Facebook

Filed under Miscellaneous

Hi there! I'm Eren Mckay. I created this blog to help others save money, time & major headaches through sharing what I've learned about the internet & techie world. I hope we can all help each other grow in our online adventures.

If you’re like me, you love to make things pretty. And while Twitter is an awesome place to chat with each other, I really miss all the bells and whistles that other chats give us like the smileys and color options . Decorating our conversation is half the fun! (hee hee)
So the solution to this is finding the absolute cutest art that we can actually tweet. I went around hunting and decided to put them all into one post.

That way when you want to make someone smile, laugh or if you just want to express yourself in a more artistic way, you can pick and choose from these symbols. They’re in alphabetical order to make it easier for you.
Some of them can be made with your keyboard while others you’ll need to copy and paste into your tweets.
Enjoy → and if you like this post please tweet it so others can know about it and bookmark it so you can easily come back . If you like this kind of resource, you’ll want to subscribe to the Embracing Blogging newsletter by clicking on this link and filling in the form.
