How copying symbols works
Every symbol on SymbolsBase is a real Unicode text character — the same kind of character as a letter or digit. That is why copied symbols paste into Word documents, Google Docs, Excel, Instagram bios, TikTok captions, Discord and code, and why they keep working everywhere plain text works. Emoji are also Unicode, but they render as little pictures in a style chosen by your phone maker; the text symbols here render in your own font, in your own colour, at any size.
Each symbol page gives you the full technical card: the official Unicode name and code point, HTML named entity (only when one genuinely exists), decimal and hex codes, CSS and JavaScript escapes, the Windows Alt code where there is a real one, and step-by-step typing instructions for Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android and Linux. Variants are always named, so you can tell a heavy check mark from a light one before you copy it.
Frequently asked questions
How do I copy a symbol from this site?
Click any symbol — or its Copy button — and it goes to your clipboard with a 'Copied ✓' confirmation. Then paste (Ctrl+V on Windows, Cmd+V on Mac, long-press → Paste on phones) wherever you need it. No sign-up, no cost.
Why does a symbol show as an empty box on my device?
The box (called tofu) means the font on that device has no drawing for that character. The symbol itself is standard Unicode and correct — it will display fine in a newer font or device.
Are these symbols free to use?
Yes. Every symbol here is a standard Unicode character from the Unicode Character Database. Use them in documents, designs, products and posts, personal or commercial.
What is the fastest way to find a symbol?
Use the search at the top of this page: type a name ('check'), the symbol itself, or a code point (2713 or U+2713). Each symbol page also lists every code — Unicode, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and the Alt code where a genuine one exists.
Do you have Alt codes?
Yes — the Alt Code Table collects every genuine Windows Alt code we publish, and each symbol page states its Alt code honestly, including when there is none.
