Usenet changed my ALT-259 heart into a question mark.

Usenet messages are all 7 bit characters.  Most (not all) of the alt
characters are 8 bit, which are replaced by a question mark

I know how to use acii characters in computer code, but I've never
done it in regular text.

See:
<https://www.alt-codes.net/how_to_use_alt_codes/>
<https://www.alt-codes.net>
When I cut-n-paste these 8 bit characters from a document into a text
editor or word processor, it appears correctly.  However, when I
pasted them into a newsreader (Forte Agent), it sometimes appears
correctly on my screen, but when I read the message as posted, it
produces a question mark or black square.

Try some of the other hearts and see what happens:
