Please tell me that you are kidding. The color black does not refer to African Americans. Black is a traditional color associated to felling sad. Are you now going to say that it is racist that the heart is black because it could offend white people?

Where I come from, the colour with all those jobs is Blue, which only offends blue people like Smurfs and Scotts.

Hello i am Dr. Geener and i am the one who has been creating all of these symbols. The black Smile has nothing to do with aferican americans. It should not make you- or for this matter ANYBODY- feel bad.
I am so sorry for this inconvenience and if you have any more thoughts please reply to this and i will happily get back to you as soon a possible!
thoughtfuly,
Mr. Geener

Thank you! Your work is so fun. As far as suggestions, Alt15 looks like an astrological Sun Sign. Perhaps you could incorporate the other signs, as well. Thanks again for all your hard work! Excellent.

is there a symbol for a broken heart, Doc?
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 11/01/2011 - 04:28.
I am sincerely looking for a broken heart. Often on FB you can love a comment, but many times you want to thumbs down, or just plain say this broke your heart.

what about the percent sign?
Submitted by king size memory foam mattress (not verified) on Tue, 08/09/2011 - 10:38.
The most official purposes, though currency signs may be in common use in many other contexts. Few currencies in the world have no short hand symbol at all.Thanks for sharing informative post.

I feel that smiles and bullets are less used for official purpose. Thanks for sharing such a useful information.

There is already a % sign on your keyboard. Look at the numeral '5' in the top line.

it is found next to or near the "ctrl" button, or look for the key that says "alt" and there you go, have a nice day~!

how do make a little 2?
Submitted by Michael (not verified) on Sat, 06/04/2011 - 02:34.
Alt+253 = ² or Alt+1021 = ²
In some Windows applications only one or the other will work so it's good to know both. Hope this ² was the "little 2" you were referring to.
