I told my gf then that I made a little program for her. It printed out the little plaintext heart and then copied "i love you" into the clipboard.
She was impressed enough by the heart and I told her in chat to press CTRL+V. A friend of hers walked into her dorm at the time. Her friend was non-tech and really impressed with the gimmick, and that made my gf even prouder of it.
We married a few years later. My daughter has been doing zoom classes since corona. My wife used her laptop for this (which still uses Win XP) and we found the old program, which still runs fine.
