Hi Denise! Just put the word heart in brackets like this [heart] and the reader will infer that the heart was not actually printed as such. That's what I do anyway. If you wanted to be more certain that the original text is understood you can write in the brackets something like [drawn heart] Does that help?

Hi all, I'm hoping to finish proofreading this book tonight and hope someone here can help. The book has a sentence that reads "We heart Kitty", but the word heart is actually not spelled out, but it is the symbol of a heart (just like the bumper stickers). How do I represent this symbol in my correction? Right now, the OCR software translated it as a V. Help!!
