About this tool
Browse and copy from a large categorized library of Unicode symbols including arrows, stars, hearts, math, currency, music, and more.
The Unicode Symbol Generator is a click-to-copy library of more than 500 Unicode characters sorted into nine categories — arrows, stars, hearts, mathematical operators, currency, music, box drawing, Greek letters and miscellaneous signs. Hovering any tile shows its official code point in U+XXXX form, and clicking copies the character itself to your clipboard, not an HTML entity or an escape sequence. Recently copied symbols are kept in a strip of the last 20 so the ones you actually use stay one click away.
Open Unicode Symbol Generator on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Pick a category tab — Arrows 52, Box Drawing 76, Greek 49 or Miscellaneous 169 — or type into the search box.
Hover a tile to see its U+XXXX code point in the tooltip above it.
Click the tile to copy the literal character to your clipboard; it joins the Recently Copied strip of the last 20.
Each tile reveals its U+XXXX value, so you can cite the exact character in a bug report or look it up in a font's coverage table.
76 box-drawing pieces and the full 49-character Greek upper and lower case set, rather than the handful most symbol pickers include.
Starred symbols and the last 20 you copied stay pinned above the grid, which matters when you are inserting the same three characters repeatedly.
Pick the category tab — each shows its symbol count, from 27 hearts up to 169 miscellaneous signs — or use the search box, which matches across all categories by hex code point or by the symbol character itself if you paste one in. Hovering a tile confirms the code point before you copy.
The literal character, so pasting into a document, a form field or a filename gives you the symbol itself rather than → or \u2192. That means it works anywhere text works, including places that strip HTML.
That means the font in the destination has no glyph for that code point — the character is correct, the font just cannot draw it. Box-drawing, musical and some currency signs are the usual casualties; switching to a broader font such as a system UI or a DejaVu-style family normally fixes it.
Mostly not. Most entries here are plain text symbols that inherit the surrounding text colour, though a few in the miscellaneous set have emoji presentations and may render in colour depending on the platform. If you need a guaranteed monochrome glyph, prefer the arrows, math, Greek and box-drawing categories.
