Non-Emoji Symbols

Non-emoji symbols are special Unicode characters that are primarily used as text symbols rather than colorful pictographic emojis. They can represent punctuation, mathematics, currency, typography, technical notation, legal information, formatting, and other concepts.

Whether you need a © copyright symbol, ™ trademark symbol, ® registered symbol, § section sign, ¶ paragraph symbol, ° degree symbol, ± plus-minus symbol, × multiplication symbol, or → arrow, you can quickly find and copy the character you need.

Copy and paste special symbols directly into your messages, documents, websites, usernames, profiles, and social media posts.

Simply select the symbol you want above or click to copy it to your clipboard.
