        The answer is that you type 2 characters to make a heart, which are the less than symbol < and 3, when together make a heart <3 And that’s only 2 characters, which is less than 3. So the answer is both the instructions on how to type a heart and the number of characters required to type a heart.

        <3 looks like a heart on its side. Mathematically speaking, it means less than 3. And since it’s 2 characters, that means the heart is less than 3, or <3

        Edit: I love how three of us decided to explain at the same time in three different ways.

        How many lemmings does it take to explain a joke? At least 3, it seems!

    This feels like something Neil deGrasse Tyson would write.

    You can kiss yourself in the mirror. But only on the lips.

    When I met the woman who is now my wife, instead of using <3, she would use <&. This reminded me of the graphic of the mouse from the classic game Rodent’s Revenge. As a result, sometimes instead of saying more traditional expressions of love - textually or verbally - we will simply say “mouse heart.”

    I’m old enough to remember when S2 was the common way to draw a heart…

    …which ironically is also less than three characters!
