About SymbolHub
SymbolHub is a free library of Unicode symbols that shows not just how to copy each one, but how to type it on the device you are using.
Who is behind SymbolHub
SymbolHub is built and maintained by Sudarshan Babar, a software developer who runs the getinfotoyou network of free, privacy-friendly web tools. The site started as a simple copy-and-paste page and was rebuilt in 2026 into a full reference with a page for every commonly searched symbol.
Why it exists
Looking up a symbol should take seconds, and the answer should be right. Many symbol sites repeat Windows alt codes that do nothing, such as “Alt + 8730” for √, or leave out the phone and Office methods people actually need. SymbolHub was built to fix that: one page per symbol with every reliable method side by side, and nothing we have not checked.
Where the data comes from
- Names, code points, blocks and versions come directly from the official Unicode Character Database, version 16.0.
- HTML entity names come from the WHATWG HTML Standard.
- Windows alt codes are derived from the code page 437 and Windows-1252 tables that Windows actually uses, so an alt code is listed only when it really types that character.
- Mac, iPhone, Android, Word, Google Docs and Excel methods were checked by hand on real keyboards and apps. When a method could not be confirmed, it is left out rather than guessed.
The full process is described in our editorial policy, and you can freely copy and paste symbols from our comprehensive homepage directory.
Free to use
Every tool on SymbolHub is free and runs in your browser. There are no accounts. Text you type into the fancy text generator, the Unicode lookup or the converters never leaves your device. The site is funded by a small number of ads, which never appear inside the symbol grids or tools.
