Symbols to copy and paste

Around 250 symbols grouped by what they are for — arrows, currency, maths, punctuation, Greek, shapes, legal marks, fractions and box drawing. Tap one to copy it. Search by name if you know what you want.

These are ordinary Unicode characters, not images, so they behave like letters: they inherit the surrounding font and colour, they can be searched for, and a screen reader announces them. That is why an em dash pasted from here is a real em dash rather than a picture of one, and why it survives being emailed, saved to a database and read back. The practical limit is font coverage rather than Unicode. Every character here exists in the standard; whether it appears depends on the font in use having a glyph for it, and a font that does not shows the replacement box instead. Arrows, currency and maths are near-universal. Box drawing and the less common fractions are patchier, and a symbol that looks right in your browser can still turn into a box in a PDF or on a phone. The fix is a fallback font stack, never a different character. One warning about a specific case: the fraction characters ½ and ¾ are single codepoints that look like fractions but are not numbers. A spreadsheet will read them as text, and arithmetic on them fails silently. Type 0.5 where a value is meant and keep the character for prose.
