How to Make Tiny Music Notes on Facebook

Use "Alt" codes to display single or beamed eighth notes on Facebook.

Creating those tiny music notes on a Facebook status update, message or email can be completed by even a novice computer user. Using keystroke combinations, you can input over 250 symbols into your correspondence. Music notes help to illustrate your intentions behind a post. Use music notes to display that you are singing, to indicate you are listening to music or in place of quotes to indicate a song's title. There are two options for music symbols: single eighth notes and a set of two beamed eighth notes.

Instructions

1. Type in the web address for Facebook and locate the conversation or status update you would like spice up with your music notes.

2. Create a single eighth note with a stem and a flag by pressing "Alt+13" with the number lock key selected. This will make an eighth note appear in your message.

3. Press "Alt+14" with number lock selected, to create two eighth notes that are connected by a bracket.
