Meaning & usage

Text symbols are Unicode characters that are not letters or emoji: stars, dingbats, weather glyphs, suits and flourishes that sit inside a line of text and follow its font and colour. They decorate usernames, dividers and headings everywhere. This collection gathers the most-copied ones, all named; the Cool Symbols page has the bigger gallery, and the Copy Box lets you stage several at once.

Examples in use

How to type the text symbols

Windows

There is no Alt code or direct key for ✦. In Microsoft Word, type 2726 and press Alt+X to convert it. Everywhere else, click the Copy button at the top of this page and paste it (Ctrl+V) — that always works.

Mac

There is no Option-key shortcut for ✦ on a Mac. Open the Character Viewer with Control+Command+Space, search for "Text Symbols", and double-click to insert — or copy it from this page.

iPhone & Android

Most phone keyboards have no built-in key for ✦. Open this page on your phone, tap Copy, then paste it into your message or bio. (On Android, Gboard's emoji search finds some symbols by name.)

Linux

Press Ctrl+Shift+U, type 2726 and press Enter (works in most GTK apps and terminals with IBus). Or copy it from this page.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between text symbols and emoji?

Text symbols render in your font, in your text colour, at text sizes — like letters. Emoji render as fixed colour pictures drawn by your device maker. Many glyphs exist in both worlds; the text versions are the flexible ones.

Where can I paste text symbols?

Almost anywhere text goes: social bios and captions, Discord, documents, spreadsheets, game names. A few strict systems (some ID and banking forms) reject them.

Why does ✦ sometimes show as a box or question mark?

The box (called tofu) means the device or font viewing it has no drawing for U+2726 (Black Four Pointed Star). The character itself is fine — try a different font or a newer device, or use one of the variants on this page.

Is the Text Symbols free to use?

Yes. ✦ is a standard Unicode text character published in the Unicode Character Database. You may use it in personal and commercial documents, designs and products without permission or payment.
