Symbols to copy and paste

How to use it

1. Pick a group (stars, arrows, marks, currency, emojis...) and click the symbol you want.
2. Each click copies the symbol to your clipboard and adds it to the "Your text with the symbols" box.
3. Write around the symbols if you like, then click "Copy all".
4. Paste it wherever you need: a LinkedIn or Instagram post, a bio, an email, a document or a message.

What is here

• About 400 symbols in 17 groups: stars, hearts, arrows, check marks, bullets and shapes, lines and dividers, math, currency, fractions and superscripts, Greek letters, copyright and trademarks, punctuation, weather, music, cards and chess, zodiac.
• More than a thousand emojis, from faces and gestures to food, transport and country flags.

Why a page instead of the emoji keyboard

The computer emoji keyboard shows emojis, but it usually lacks arrows, bullets, Greek letters, fractions and dividers. Instead of hunting character by character, everything is grouped here and one click away.

On a computer, the emoji keyboard opens with Windows + period (Windows) or Control + Command + Space (Mac). It is handy for emojis, while this page also covers text symbols.

Things to keep in mind

• These are Unicode characters, not images: most apps display them, but very old devices may swap some for boxes.
• Screen readers may read the symbols oddly or repeatedly. Use them as decoration, not to carry essential information.
• Each app or system may draw the same emoji differently, so the look changes from device to device.

How do I copy a symbol?

Click it. The symbol goes to your clipboard and appears in the text box on the page; just paste it anywhere with Ctrl+V (or Command+V on a Mac).

Can I use these symbols on Instagram, LinkedIn and WhatsApp?

In most cases, yes: they are text characters. Since the result depends on the device and the app, test on your phone before using them for something important.

Why does a box show up instead of the symbol?

The device or app does not have the shape of that character. Swap it for another symbol of the same group or use an emoji, which usually has better support.

Does it have every emoji?

It has the simple emojis and the country flags, more than a thousand in total. There are no skin tone variations or combinations such as family and professions.

How do I type symbols on a computer keyboard?

For emojis, use Windows + period on Windows or Control + Command + Space on a Mac. For other symbols, copy from here and paste: it is faster than remembering codes.

Can I use the symbols in a document or spreadsheet?

Yes, as long as the document font has the character. If a box appears, change the font for that part.

Is what I copy sent to a server?

No. Everything happens in your browser; the text you build is neither sent nor stored.
