Why SymbolHub is different

Most symbol sites stop at copy and paste. SymbolHub also shows you how to type each symbol on the device in front of you: the Windows alt code, the Mac Option shortcut, the Linux Unicode input, the iPhone and Android keyboard route, and the Word, Google Docs and Excel methods.

Every code on the site is generated from the official Unicode Character Database (version 16.0) and the WHATWG list of HTML entities, then checked against real keyboards. That matters, because many sites repeat alt codes such as “Alt + 8730” that do nothing on Windows. We only list an alt code when the Windows code pages actually map it.

How to use it

  1. Click a symbol to copy it. It is also added to the tray at the bottom of the screen, so you can collect several symbols and copy them all at once.
  2. Search by name: “degree”, “arrow”, “e acute”, or a code such as U+2713.
  3. Open the symbol page with the small ⓘ to see every shortcut, code and look-alike character.

Frequently asked questions

How do I copy and paste a symbol?

Click the symbol on this page and it is copied to your clipboard. Then paste it with Ctrl + V on Windows, Command + V on a Mac, or long-press and Paste on a phone.

Are these symbols free to use?

Yes. Unicode characters are not owned by anyone and can be used in any text, name, document or website. Only the meaning of some marks, such as ® for registered trademarks, is regulated.

Why does a symbol show as a box or question mark?

The font on that device does not include the character. Newer symbols need an up-to-date operating system. See our guide to fixing symbols that show as boxes.

Will these symbols work on Instagram, TikTok and Discord?

Yes. They are standard Unicode text, so they work anywhere you can type text, including bios, captions, usernames that allow symbols, and chat apps.
