My personal favourite is still ♥ (and of course those omnipresent
☺ and ☹) I chose the (to me otherwise useless) caps lock as compose.

With compose, they tend to be somewhat mnemonic, so you can remember
them once you've seen them once. E.g. '<' + '3' => '♥' and
'.' + ')' => '☺'. You get the idea. I haven't yet seen a complete
table (nor have I yet bothered to find out how one configures that
in X -- some day I'll do).
