A number which is considered extremely unlucky in Chinese and Japanese culture. The pronunciation of the character for "death" sounds like that of the number four in both languages, making it a number rarely seen in hospitals (or pachinko halls).
In Japan, more people on average die on the fourth day of the month.

Person 1: I love you. <3
Person 2: I love you MORE! <4
Person 1: :: Giggles and hugs. ::

The <4 is similar to the <3. It is just a heart with a little more meaning to it. The 4 stands for 4 ever/ forever.
