What is a character map tool?
A character map is a visual reference tool that displays all available characters in a font or encoding system. It allows you to browse, search, and copy special characters, symbols, and emojis that aren't easily accessible on your keyboard.
How do I copy a character?
Simply click on any character in the grid to copy it to your clipboard. A toast notification will confirm the copy. You can then paste it anywhere using Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V on Mac).
What Unicode blocks are included?
This tool includes common Unicode blocks: Basic Latin, Latin Extended, Greek, Cyrillic, Arrows, Math Symbols, Currency, Box Drawing, Block Elements, Geometric Shapes, Dingbats, Emojis, and many more.
Can I search for a specific character?
Yes! Use the search box to find characters by name, code point (e.g., U+0041), or by pasting a character directly. The results update in real time as you type.
What is Unicode?
Unicode is a computing standard that assigns a unique number (code point) to every character across all writing systems, symbols, and emojis. It enables consistent text representation worldwide, supporting over 140,000 characters.
Why do some characters appear as empty boxes?
Empty boxes (tofu) appear when your system doesn't have a font that supports that particular character. Most modern browsers and operating systems support common characters, but rare symbols may require special fonts.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes, this character map is 100% free. It runs entirely in your browser, so there are no server costs or limitations. You can use it offline after the initial page load.
Can I use these characters in HTML?
Absolutely! You can copy characters directly into your HTML code. For special cases, you can also use HTML entities (like & for &). The tool shows character codes that work in various programming contexts.
What are Unicode code points?
A code point is a unique number assigned to each character. For example, the letter "A" has the code point U+0041. Code points are written in hexadecimal format and range from U+0000 to U+10FFFF.
Can I use these symbols in social media?
Yes! Most social media platforms support Unicode characters. You can copy symbols, arrows, checkmarks, and other special characters to make your posts stand out.
How many characters are in Unicode?
Unicode 15.0 contains over 149,000 characters covering 161 modern and historic scripts, plus thousands of symbols, emojis, and technical characters. The standard is regularly updated to include new characters.
What are Unicode blocks?
Unicode blocks are contiguous ranges of code points grouped by script or function. For example, "Basic Latin" contains English letters and common symbols, while "Arrows" contains directional symbols. This tool lets you browse characters by block.
Can I use these characters in Word documents?
Yes! Microsoft Word and other office suites fully support Unicode. You can copy and paste any character from this tool into your documents, spreadsheets, or presentations.
Is my data private when using this tool?
Absolutely. This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No characters you copy or search for are sent to any server. Your privacy is 100% protected.
How to Use Character Map
Browse thousands of Unicode characters — symbols, emoji, math operators, arrows, currency signs and more — organized by block. Click any character to copy it instantly. Runs fully in your browser, even offline.
- Open the 'Block:' dropdown to jump to a specific Unicode range such as arrows, math operators or currency symbols.
- Browse the character grid of the chosen block, or widen the filter to show all characters.
- Click any character in the grid to copy it to your clipboard immediately.
- Paste the copied character into your document, chat message or code editor.
If a character appears as an empty box, your current font lacks that glyph — pick another block or a font with broader Unicode coverage.
