Facebook symbols are Unicode characters such as ♡ ❤ ✿ ★ ➳ ☾ that you can copy and paste into a bio, an intro, a post or a comment. This page sorts more than 70 of them into groups, with name frames, text emoticons and kaomoji, and each one copies with a single tap.
Facebook symbols copy and paste
Tap a symbol to copy it, then paste it into the Facebook box you are writing in. The groups below run from hearts and flowers to text emoticons, and the search box filters them by name. The copies you make are kept in a “recently copied” row on this device.
Hearts and love marks
Flowers and snowflakes
Stars and sparkles
Moons, crowns and crosses
Music, quotes, ticks and faces
Name and bio combos
Divider lines for posts
Facebook text emoticons
Kaomoji for comments
Symbols for a Facebook bio and intro
The intro is the short line under a profile photo, and Facebook limits it to 101 characters. That limit counts every symbol, so a bio built from two or three marks around a short phrase reads better than one stuffed with ornaments. A heart before the phrase and a star after it is enough, and the name frames further down make that in one step.
Where Facebook symbols fit
Symbols work in free-text places and not in name fields. The table sorts the usual Facebook places by what suits them.
| Place | Good choice | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Intro (bio) | Hearts, stars, short combos | Facebook caps the intro at 101 characters, so choose one or two marks, not a long divider |
| Posts and captions | Dividers, flowers, kaomoji | Long dividers help split a post into parts |
| Comments | Text emoticons, kaomoji | Short and quick to paste |
| Page and group names | A single mark at the end or start | Check the name rules of Facebook before saving |
| Profile name | None | The name standards say a profile name should not include symbols |
Facebook name style: frame your name with symbols
Type your name once and the generator frames it with sixteen symbol styles, several in bold, italic or script letters. It is meant for an intro, a post signature or a page description. Facebook’s name standards for a personal profile say the name should not include symbols, numbers or unusual capitalization, so keep the framed version out of the profile name field.
Fancy letters for Facebook posts
Fancy letters are ordinary text rewritten in look-alike Unicode characters, which is how bold, italic and script words appear in a Facebook post that has no formatting buttons. Type below to preview six styles and copy the one you like. The complete tool with 25 styles is the fancy text generator.
Text emoticons and kaomoji for comments
Before the picture emoji, Facebook turned typed shortcuts into small faces: 🙂 and 😀 for smiles, heart symbols page.
Questions about Facebook symbols
How do I add symbols to my Facebook name?
Facebook’s name standards say a profile name should not contain symbols, numbers or unusual capitalization, so changes with symbols may be refused. Symbols belong in the intro, posts, captions and comments, where this page’s copies paste without trouble.
Why do some Facebook symbols appear as boxes?
The phone or computer showing the text has no font for that character. The common hearts, stars and flowers display almost everywhere, while rarer ornaments can fail on older devices.
Are these symbols the same as Facebook emoji?
No. Emoji are coloured pictures that Facebook draws itself, while these symbols are plain text characters that take the colour of the surrounding text and keep their shape across devices.
