Symbols, emoji and kaomoji

Symbols are single text characters from Unicode blocks such as Arrows (U+2190–U+21FF) and Miscellaneous Symbols (U+2600–U+26FF). Emoji are colourful pictures drawn by each platform; see the emoji meanings directory. Kaomoji are faces built from several characters, like ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ; browse them on the kaomoji page. Symbols also make great dividers in aesthetic emoji combos.

Every set on SymbolMix is generated directly from Unicode code-point ranges, and each symbol shows its code point so you can look it up in the official Unicode code charts.

Questions

What is the difference between a symbol and an emoji?

Symbols like ★, → and ♡ are ordinary text characters: they take the colour of the surrounding text and look similar in every font. Emoji are drawn as colourful pictures by each platform. Some characters, like ❤ and ☀, can appear either way; adding variation selector U+FE0F asks for the emoji style.

How do I type special symbols?

The quickest way is to copy them from this page. On Windows press Win + . (period) and open the Symbols tab; on a Mac press Control + Command + Space. On phones, long-press keys or use the emoji keyboard’s symbols section.

Why does a symbol show as a box?

Your device has no font containing that character, so it shows a placeholder box (sometimes called “tofu”). Common symbols like arrows and stars display almost everywhere; rarer ones from newer Unicode versions may not.

Can I use these symbols in Instagram, TikTok and Discord?

Yes. They are plain Unicode text, so they paste into bios, usernames (where the app allows), captions and messages.
