How it works

A special character list of 294 signs that no key of a U.S. keyboard prints, in nine kinds from punctuation to arrows. A tap copies a character and shows its name and its Unicode code point.

Special characters to copy, kind by kind

Most used opens the page: ©, ®, ™, °, •, …, the en and em dash, ×, ÷, ±, ≠, ≈, ≤, ≥, → and ←, ✓, ★, €, £, ¢, § and ½. After it come punctuation and quotes, currency, math, fractions and raised numbers, arrows, business and law, checks and shapes, and letters with marks.

What comes with each character

A tapped tile shows its name and its code point, written like U+00A9. The full list further down the page adds the Alt code and the HTML name where the character has one. ✓, ★ and ≠ have neither an Alt code nor a key, which is why they are copied.

  • The 32 signs printed on the keys, such as @, # and ~, are on Keyboard symbols with their names.

Questions and answers

What is considered a special character?

A special character is one that is not a letter and not a digit. On a password form it means the punctuation signs of a keyboard: one published list counts 32 of them and the space. This page adds the signs that no key has.

Is an underscore a special character?

Yes. The underscore, the slash, the ampersand and the hyphen are all on the list of 32 keyboard signs that password rules call special characters. A form or a system may accept only some of them.

How do you type special characters?

The short way is to copy one here and paste it. To add, input or insert one from the keyboard, hold Alt and type its code on the number pad: the Alt codes list has every code. Typing them this way needs a number pad.

How do you type special characters on a Chromebook?

Copy the character here and paste it. For an accent, hold the letter key down and pick from the menu. For any other character, press Ctrl+Shift+U, type its code point, such as 00A9 for ©, then press Enter.

What are all the special characters?

There is no closed list: a keyboard prints 32 signs, and Unicode holds many thousands more. This page gathers 294 of the ones people ask for, and each of them can be found by its name in the search box.

How this list was compiled: Names, and the code points they belong to, are from UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), printed in sentence case. Other names, notes and cross-references are from NamesList.txt of the same version (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt); the version a character was added in is from DerivedAge.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt), and the years are from https://www.unicode.org/history/publicationdates.html. Alt codes are from the code page 437 table (https://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/PC/CP437.TXT), the PC graphics table for codes 1 to 31 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MISC/IBMGRAPH.TXT) and the code page 1252 table (https://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/CP1252.TXT). Option keys are those of the U.S. keyboard layout as the Unicode CLDR project records it (https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/release-42/keyboards/osx/en-t-k0-osx.xml); other layouts differ. HTML entity names are from https://html.spec.whatwg.org/entities.json. A cell is empty where no such method exists. The characters were chosen by this site as a working set of signs that no key of a U.S. keyboard prints, in nine kinds; the 32 signs that are printed on the keys are left to the Keyboard symbols page. What a password rule means by a special character: the OWASP page Password Special Characters (https://owasp.org/www-community/password-special-characters), which lists the 32 punctuation signs of a U.S. keyboard and the space.
