That is a new one for me. What does "I <3" mean?

Re: The map that will never be
I think <3 is a heart. So it's "I love".

Re: The map that will never be
<3 is indeed supposed to be a heart.
In fact, the first time I saw it, many years ago, I thought it was an *** (the kind that is usually used before "hole") wearing a hat, and thus I called it "asshat". Not long after that, "asshat" became a popular insult. (and since then it's popularity has faded.)
Not that I'm implying there's any causality involved.

<3
The stories I could tell about embarrassing moments in SMS history when I literally asked "why are you always writing less than three?", which was answered by a "less-than fraction three"...
