Symbol & unicode reference

Copy and paste symbols, the clean way.

One fast, searchable grid of 285+ symbols. Click a glyph to copy it, then open its page for the code point, HTML entity, alt code and CSS. No ads, no sign up, all in your browser.

285 symbols. Click any glyph to copy it.

A specimen sheet for the whole Unicode toolbox

Most symbol sites cover a single character and bury it under ads. CopyGlyph takes the opposite approach. The grid above holds the symbols people actually copy, from the degree sign and the heart to arrows, currency signs, check marks and math operators, and each one has a dedicated page that treats it like a type specimen: the glyph shown large, a one-click copy, and every code you might need to reproduce it in HTML, CSS, JavaScript or a Word document.

Search is instant and matches names as well as aliases, so a search for "tick" finds the check mark and "pound" finds the sterling sign. Pick a category chip to narrow the grid, or open the full symbol reference for a single page that lists every glyph with its code point.

Frequently asked questions

How do I copy a symbol from CopyGlyph?

Click any glyph in the grid and it is copied to your clipboard right away. You can then paste it anywhere with Ctrl+V or Cmd+V. Nothing is uploaded, the copy happens entirely in your browser.

Will the symbol still work when I paste it somewhere else?

Yes. These are real Unicode text characters, not images, so they paste into documents, messages, usernames, spreadsheets and code. If a specific font does not include a glyph you may see a box, but the character is still correct.

What is a code point, an HTML entity and an alt code?

The code point is the number Unicode assigns to a character, written like U+00B0. The HTML entity is how you write it in web pages, such as ° or °. The alt code is a numeric shortcut you type on Windows while holding Alt. Every symbol page lists all of these.

Is CopyGlyph free and private?

Completely. There is no sign up, no limit and no tracking of what you copy. The whole reference is static and runs client side, so your clipboard never leaves your device.

Building something? CopyGlyph ships a free static JSON API and an embeddable symbol picker widget, so you can pull the data or drop the picker into your own site.
