What Symbols Copy and Paste Does

This page collects more than 900 text symbols — arrows, stars, check marks, hearts, math and currency signs, Greek letters, fractions, superscripts, circled and Roman numbers, music, weather, zodiac, card and chess symbols, keyboard keys and box-drawing lines — ready to copy with one click. Every symbol carries its official Unicode name, so you can search for “degree”, “rightwards arrow” or “check mark” and know exactly which character you are getting.

Click a symbol to copy it; it is also added to a compose box so you can build a string like ★★★★☆ or → Next and copy it all at once. For web work, the detail panel shows the Unicode code point, the numeric HTML reference, a named HTML entity where one exists, and the CSS escape for use in content properties.

How to Read Your Result

Why some symbols show as boxes

A symbol is only drawn if a font on the reader’s device contains it. Everyday symbols are in almost every font, but rarer ones — some arrows, box-drawing pieces or new currency signs — may show as an empty box or question mark on older systems. For important text such as a website header, stick to widely supported symbols or test on the devices your audience uses.

Symbols and accessibility

Screen readers announce many symbols by name (“black star”, “rightwards arrow”), which can be noisy when they are used as decoration. In web pages, hide purely decorative symbols from assistive technology, and do not rely on a symbol alone to carry meaning — pair a ✓ with the word “done”.

Limitations & Accuracy Notes

  • Emoji are on a separate page; a few characters here (such as ❤ and ☀) may display as color emoji on some devices.
  • Appearance varies by font and platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I copy and paste a symbol?
Click any symbol and it is copied to your clipboard straight away, ready to paste with Ctrl + V (⌘ + V on a Mac). It is also added to the “Your symbols” box, so you can build up a string such as ★★★★☆ and copy it all at once.
Will these symbols work everywhere?
They are standard Unicode characters, so they work in documents, email, social media bios, games and messaging apps. A very old device or unusual font may show an empty box for rarer symbols; common ones like ✓ → ★ © ° display almost everywhere.
How do I type a symbol with the keyboard?
On Windows, press Win + . (period) for the emoji and symbol panel. On a Mac, press Control + Command + Space for the Character Viewer. On phones, long-press keys: holding $ shows other currency signs and holding - shows dashes.
What is the HTML code for a symbol?
Every symbol can be written as a numeric reference like → for →. Common ones also have named entities such as © for ©, ° for ° and → for →. Click a symbol to see both, plus the CSS escape.
What is the difference between a symbol and an emoji?
Symbols are text characters that take the color of the surrounding text, like ★ or ✓. Emoji are colorful pictures. A few characters, such as ❤ and ☀, can appear either way depending on the device.
Where do the symbol names come from?
Each name is the official Unicode character name — for example, “Rightwards Arrow” for → — so you can search by name and know exactly which character you are copying.
