<3

<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.
