About Unicode Symbols

Unicode is an international standard that assigns a unique number (code point) to every character used in writing worldwide — over 140,000 characters. Symbols on this page are a curated subset covering the most useful: mathematical operators, typographic marks, currency signs, decorative characters, and more.

Because these symbols are part of Unicode, they work in any modern app: documents (Word, Google Docs), spreadsheets (Excel, Sheets), code editors, social media bios, email, and messaging apps. No special font or plugin needed.

How to type on keyboard

Windows: Alt + numeric keypad code (e.g. Alt+0169 for ©). Or Windows key + . to open emoji/symbol picker.
Mac: Option key combos (e.g. Option+G for ©). Or Edit → Emoji & Symbols (⌃⌘Space).
All devices: Copy from this page — fastest method.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I copy a special symbol? ▾

Simply click or tap any symbol in the grid — it copies to your clipboard instantly and a "Copied!" toast confirms it. On mobile, the same single tap works on iOS Safari and Android Chrome.

What is a Unicode code point? ▾

A Unicode code point is a unique number assigned to each character, written as U+XXXX (hexadecimal). For example, the black star ★ is U+2605, and the copyright symbol © is U+00A9. Code points are universal — the same number means the same character on every device and operating system.

Can I copy multiple symbols at once? ▾

Yes — click the "Multi-select" button in the toolbar to enter multi-select mode. Then click each symbol you want, and press "Copy Selected" to copy them all joined together. Great for building decorative text borders or username combos.

Why do some symbols show as boxes? ▾

A box (□) or question mark (?) means your device's font doesn't include that character. The symbol is still there in Unicode — you can still copy it and paste it somewhere that does support it. Newer OS versions and updated system fonts support more characters.

What's the difference between symbols and emoji? ▾

Both are Unicode, but emoji are rendered as colorful images by the OS, while symbols (like ★ ✓ → ©) are rendered as plain text in the current font color. Symbols are better for documents, code, and professional text where colored emoji would look out of place.
