How to use
When it helps
You reach for special characters when decorating a blog title, numbering items in a document or adding a heart to a chat nickname. Most of them are not on your keyboard, and system character pickers make you scroll through long lists or remember Alt codes.
This page sorts symbols into everyday favorites, arrows, shapes and hearts, brackets and quotes, math and units, currency, circled and Roman numerals, Korean letters and circled Hangul, Japanese kana, Greek letters, box drawing lines, dividers and text emoticons. Search works on common names, so words like check, circle or fraction take you straight to the right symbols.
Every click copies to your clipboard and adds the symbol to the collected box, so building a string of several symbols is easy. Recently used symbols are remembered on this device, ready for your next visit.
FAQ
Where does a symbol go when I click it?
It is copied to your device clipboard. Paste it with Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac), or long-press and choose Paste on a phone.
How do I copy several symbols at once?
Click symbols one after another and they pile up in the collected box. Then press Copy collected. If copying on every click gets in the way, turn off the Copy on every click option.
Some symbols show up as empty boxes after pasting.
If the font on the receiving device or app does not include that symbol, it can appear as a box or question mark. Common symbols and arrows work almost everywhere, but some decorative symbols and box lines may look different on older devices.
Can I type special characters from the keyboard?
On Windows, press Win + period to open the emoji and symbol panel. On Mac, press Control + Cmd + Space to open the Character Viewer. For less common symbols, searching here is usually faster.
