About this tool
The Unicode Symbol Picker is a fast character map for the special symbols people actually reach for. Instead of hunting through a giant grid, you choose a category — Arrows, Stars & asterisks, Currency, Math operators, Bullets & dividers, Punctuation & marks, or Greek letters — and get a clean set of curated glyphs. Each symbol is shown as a tile with the glyph, its official Unicode name, and its U+ code point.
Click any tile to copy that symbol to your clipboard; a toast confirms the copy. The code point is computed live from the character (via codePointAt, formatted as U+XXXX), so you always know exactly which Unicode character you are inserting — useful when writing documentation, filing bug reports, or picking the right dash, quote, or multiplication sign rather than an ASCII stand-in.
Categories cover the everyday needs: directional and double arrows, decorative stars, world currency signs (€ £ ¥ ₹ ₿ and more), the math operator set (± × ÷ ≠ ≤ ≥ ∑ √ ∞ ∫), typographic bullets and dashes, marks like © ® ™ ° and curly quotes, and the full lower- and upper-case Greek alphabet. It is pure lookup — no transforms — and it all runs offline in your browser.
