You can use the Character Viewer to insert a heart, emoji, symbol, or special character into your text.

In most applications you can type control+command+space to open the Character Viewer. The command key is the key with the clover (⌘) on it. If this key combination doesn't work, follow these instructions to open the Character Viewer.

Now type "heart" in the search field in the Character Viewer. When you find the heart you want, double-click it to insert it in your text.
