Symbols to Copy and How to Type Them

One page per symbol: tap a character to copy it, then read off its Alt code, Option key, HTML entity, LaTeX macro and code point.

167 pages

Greek letters 25

The whole alphabet on one page, and single letters such as alpha, pi and omega on pages of their own, capital and small, next to the look-alikes that are separate characters.

Arrows 5

Left arrows, right arrows, up arrows, circular arrows and all the others.

Maths signs 41

Roots, integrals, the partial derivative, infinity, plus-minus, times, division, percent, fractions, degree, squared, diameter, angle, perpendicular, prime, approximately, proportional, inequality, not equal, congruent and set signs, the number sets, the angstrom, x bar and the repeating bar, with the LaTeX macro where one exists.

Marks for writing 51

Trademark and section signs, check marks, bullets, brackets, quotation marks, dashes, punctuation, the signs on a keyboard, the ampersand, the underscore, the vertical line, the non-breaking space, marks for sarcasm, the letters æ, œ, þ, ſ, ə and ʔ, and the money signs, from the cent to the yen.

Religious, astrological and old 10

Crosses, the om sign, the ankh, the pentagram, zodiac and alchemical signs, under Unicode's own names.

Signs, shapes and the rest 35

Play buttons, card suits, chess pieces, dice, dominoes, hazard, medical and gender signs, the ground sign, the musical flat, the clefs, the crescendo hairpin, keyboard key marks, the menu icon, Braille patterns, the Dingbats block, corners, rectangles, hexagons, spirals and stars.

Most of these characters are on no keyboard, which is why people end up here. Each page takes one symbol, or one small set, and lists the forms of it that Unicode has: the plain one, the heavy and outline ones, the emoji twin, the odd relatives.

More about these tools

Tap a character and it is copied. Next to it are the ways to type it that exist: an Alt code, an Option key, an HTML entity, a LaTeX macro. Where a method does not exist the cell stays empty, never guessed. Names and code points are the official ones from Unicode 18.0, written like U+2190, and a long page has a search box that takes a name, a code or a character. A page about one symbol goes wide on its variants. A set page shows one form of each symbol and links to the single pages for the rest.
