Frequently asked questions

How do I type special characters on my computer?

The quickest way is to click them here and paste with Ctrl+V or Command+V. You can also use alt codes on Windows or the character viewer on a Mac.

What is a Unicode code like U+00A9?

It is the standard number for a character. U+00A9 is the copyright sign. You can type a code like that into the search box to find the character.

Why does a character show as a box on my device?

Your device may not have a font that includes that character. Updating your system or installing a font with wider coverage usually fixes it.

Can I copy several characters at once?

Yes. Each click adds the character to the text box, and Copy all copies everything in the box in one go.

Most modern apps support them. Some old systems or file names may not, so check before using them where compatibility matters.
