How to use the symbol copy and paste tool

These characters are Unicode symbols, so you can use them without installing a special font. Find a symbol using the search bar or browse categories such as Hearts, Stars, Arrows, Mathematical Symbols, Chess, Greek Letters and Decorative Text. Click the character to copy it, then paste with Ctrl+V or Command+V.

To build a line of characters, enable Select multiple, choose several tiles and copy or download the selection. For technical documents, prefer symbols with well-defined meanings. Decorative alphabet characters can look attractive in profiles but may be harder to read with assistive technology.

Frequently asked questions

How can I copy and paste special symbols?

Search for a symbol or choose a category, then click a character. It is copied to your clipboard and can be pasted into messages, documents and other text fields.

Can I copy several symbols at once?

Yes. Turn on Select multiple, choose the characters you want, and press Copy selected. You can also download the selected text as a UTF-8 file.

What is the difference between symbols and emojis?

Symbols are Unicode text characters such as ★, →, ± and ©. Emojis are Unicode characters or sequences that often appear as coloured pictures on supported devices.

Can I use special symbols on Instagram, WhatsApp and social media?

Yes. Most apps accept Unicode symbols, although appearance depends on their fonts, operating systems and text-formatting support.

How do I find arrows, hearts, maths symbols or music notes?

Use the search field or select a category such as Arrows, Heart Symbols, Mathematical Symbols or Music and Musical Notes.

Are decorative cursive and blackletter letters actual fonts?

No. These are distinct Unicode characters that resemble different letter styles. They are not interchangeable with regular text in every screen reader, search function or application.
