Symbols Copy and Paste — Hearts, Stars, Arrows & More

Symbols copy and paste is the quickest way to add characters your keyboard does not have — hearts ♡, stars ★, arrows →, ticks ✓, music notes ♪ and more. FancyTextTool keeps every symbol with its Unicode name and code, so one tap copies it for a bio, a chat, a document or a game name.

Tap any symbol to copy it — 96 on this page, hundreds more in the collections below. Last checked: 12 October 2026 (names and code points against Unicode 17.0); device rendering has not been tested yet.

Find a symbol by shape

Most people know the shape they want, not its name. Start from the shape, then open its collection for every variant: hearts and stars for decoration, arrows and ticks for lists and instructions, brackets for framing a name, and currency and maths signs for documents. The search box at the top of this page filters every symbol here by name — try “black”, “circle” or “note”.

Symbols that work everywhere

Older symbols are the safest. These have been in Unicode since version 1.1 (1993) and show on practically every phone, computer and app:

Newer additions — many emoji, the Egyptian hieroglyphs used in some aesthetic combos, rare scripts — are the ones that turn into empty boxes on older devices.

How to copy a symbol on a phone

• Tap the symbol on this page — it is copied straight away and a small “Copied” note appears.
• Open the app and press and hold where you want the symbol.
• Choose Paste. Your last copies stay in the “Recently copied” strip on this device for 90 days.

Symbol versus emoji

A symbol such as ♥ or ★ is text: it takes the colour and size of the words around it. An emoji such as ❤️ or ⭐ is drawn by your device as a small colour picture, so it looks different on iPhone, Android and Windows. Some characters can be both — the emoji collection explains the switch.

Why a symbol shows as a box

An empty box (sometimes called a missing-glyph box) means the device has no font that contains that character. The symbol is still there and copies correctly; the reader just cannot see it. Choosing symbols from the “works everywhere” list above avoids the problem for important text.

Questions

Are these symbols free to use?

Yes. They are standard Unicode characters, so anyone can copy and paste them anywhere — personal or commercial — without any licence.

Do I need to install a font?

No. The symbols use the fonts already on your device. That is also why a very rare symbol may show as a box on an older phone.
