How copying works here

  1. Find the symbol. Type what you would call it in plain words. Searching for money, tick, arrow or half all work, because every symbol carries its everyday names as well as its official Unicode name.
  2. Tap it once. The symbol goes straight to your clipboard and the tile confirms it. Nothing opens, nothing downloads, and the page does not move.
  3. Paste it anywhere. Ctrl + V on Windows, Command + V on Mac, or long press and paste on a phone. It works in Word, Excel, Docs, Slack, Instagram captions and email, because these are real Unicode characters and not pictures.

Common questions

Is SymbolHero free?

Yes, completely. There is no account, no trial and no paid tier. The site is paid for by the ads you see around the tools.

Will these symbols work in Word, Excel and Google Docs?

Yes. Everything here is a standard Unicode character, not an image, so it behaves like any other letter you type. It keeps your font, your size and your colour, and it stays searchable.

Why does a symbol show as a box on my screen?

The symbol copied correctly. The font you are pasting into simply has no drawing for that character. Switch to a font with wide coverage, such as Arial Unicode MS, Segoe UI Symbol or Noto Sans, and it will appear.

Do Alt codes work on a laptop without a number pad?

Usually not. Alt codes need the numeric keypad, not the number row above the letters. On a laptop you can turn on the hidden keypad with the Fn key, or skip the whole problem and copy the symbol from this site instead.

Can I use these symbols commercially?

Yes. Unicode characters are part of an open standard and are not owned by anyone. Use them in logos, products, listings and client work freely.

Does the site store what I copy?

No. Your recently copied symbols are saved in your own browser so the list is there next time. Nothing is sent to us and nothing leaves your device.
