<3 is a combination of a lesser than symbol and the number 3. This combination makes a heart shape, the pointy end of the heart usually points to the one that the heart is intended for. <3 can be used to say I love you,and it can be used to exhibit your friends. All of this is usually done on an instant messaging program such as Yahoo Instant Messaging, or MSN hotmail.

The word means love or heart, where "<" is the bottom and the "3" is the top of the heart.
< <-> 3....<3.
If u want to show big love you use more 3's.
there is no limit in how many 3's you can have.
More 3's equals more love.

Example:
Pia: Look at that hair <3
Guri: =O look at those pants <333333
Fia: Look at the 6-pack on that guy <3333333333333333333333333333333333333
This show that you really care about this preson because of all the 3's, very personal heart.
Example 2: You can also type <3<3<3<333<3<<<33<333<33<33<3<33
but this version is more unpersonal and reflects that you are in a hurry
