Symbol.so also has a powerful search that helps you find the Unicode character you're looking for by name, category, or its codes.

The reason these characters are called text symbols is because they are exactly like text. This means you can easily copy and paste them wherever Unicode is supported. You can add them to your bio, posts, and use them in your documents, designs, presentations, and more.

Uses of Text Symbols

Here are some of the common uses of Unicode symbols:

Social Media

Since there are limited options on social media platforms to format text, fancy symbols can improve your posts in various ways. You can use bullet points for lists, star symbols to decorate your text, stylish numbers for emphasis, and different emojis to express your emotions. The best part is that these symbols can be used almost anywhere, including your Instagram bio, Facebook posts, X tweets, and comments.

Academic

Math symbols such as ∞ (infinity), ≤ (less than), ∑ (summation), etc. are used in equations and formulas. Signs like ° (degree), Ω (Ohm), µ (Micro), and π (Pi) are used in different scientific notations.

Development

Symbols like arrows, check marks, stars, etc. are used in UI elements. Characters like the right arrow →, approximately equal ≈, and not equal ≠ are commonly used in code comments for clarity.

Messaging

This is perhaps the most common use of symbols because emojis are used all the time to convey emotion and context not needing text.

Documentation & Writing

Writing is another major area where different symbols are used. Dashes such as Em Dash (—) are used to separate the ideas, or the Section sign (§) to reference sections in documents.
