How it works

These elegant symbols are printers' ornaments in plain text: โฆ first, then two more fleurons, heavy quotation marks, pointing hands and a full alphabet of script capitals for an initial. Name wrappers and dividers follow. Tap a tile to copy it.

Read the full guide

Fleurons, quotes and pointing hands

โฆ, โง and โ˜™ are fleurons; the Unicode names list calls the first Aldus leaf and the second hedera, ivy leaf. Quotation ornaments are heavy cuts of the ordinary marks. Pointing hands has โ˜ž, which the names list calls a fist, a typographic term.

A script capital for an initial

Script capitals runs from ๐’œ to ๐’ต. Eight of the letters, B, E, F, H, I, L, M and R, come from an older block, so a font may draw them a little differently from their neighbors. For a whole name in script, use the cursive text page.

  • Everything except the eight emoji is plain text and takes the color of your words.
  • โ„˜ is named script capital P, but the names list says it has the form of a lowercase p. The true capital is ๐’ซ.
  • The search box takes one word: fleuron finds 11 tiles and quote finds 8.

Questions and answers

What are the leaf-shaped elegant symbols called?

Fleurons. Unicode files โฆ and โง under that heading. The first is named floral heart and is also called Aldus leaf; the second is also called hedera, ivy leaf. The heavy quotation marks are filed as punctuation mark ornaments.

How do I write my initial in an elegant letter?

Copy it from Script capitals, which has all 26 from ๐’œ to ๐’ต. They are mathematical script letters, in Unicode since 3.1, and paste as text. A device with no font for one shows an empty box.

Is โฆ an emoji?

No. โฆ is a text character from the Dingbats block, in Unicode since 1.1. It has no emoji form, so it never turns into a color picture.

How this list was compiled: Every character was checked against UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt): the code points and the character names in the notes come from that file, names in sentence case. Block names come from Blocks.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Blocks.txt) and the Unicode version each character arrived in from DerivedAge.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt), both version 18.0.0. Other names and uses of a character come from the annotations in NamesList.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt); that is where Aldus leaf, hedera, ivy leaf, binding signature mark, fist, obelisk, diesis, the uses of the script capitals and the note on script capital P come from, with the headings Fleurons, Punctuation mark ornaments and Ornamental brackets. The script capitals are the mathematical script capitals of Unicode 3.1; eight letters (B, E, F, H, I, L, M, R) are missing from that run and were already in Letterlike Symbols since Unicode 1.1. The Ornamental Dingbats block (U+1F650 to U+1F67F) was tried and left out: no font on the test machine drew any of it, and many devices lack one. The emoji, their names, code points and Emoji version numbers come from emoji-test.txt, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-test.txt); names are the CLDR short names printed in that file, in sentence case. Emoji search words are from the CLDR English annotations (https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotations/en.xml and https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotationsDerived/en.xml). Which characters have an emoji form, and the text-style sequences that keep them plain, come from emoji-data.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-data.txt) and emoji-variation-sequences.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt), version 18.0.0. Which characters count as elegant, and every wrapper, divider and styled word, are this site's own choice and assembly; the tile names are this site's own. Each tile was drawn with the macOS system fonts before it was kept; a character no installed font could draw was dropped. All sources were read on 2026-09-30. Licence: own work
