Unicode Symbols Reference — Copy Common Characters (Arrows, Math, Emoji, Currency)

Practical Unicode character reference — the symbols you actually need to paste into copy, code, or docs. Click the symbol to select-and-copy in modern browsers. Every row includes the code point (for JS String.fromCodePoint()), the HTML entity, and the JS escape.

Programmatic access

• JavaScript: "\u{1F600}" (ES6+) or String.fromCodePoint(0x1F600). Old \uXXXX only handles the BMP (up to U+FFFF).
• Python: "\N{HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS}" or chr(0x2026).
• HTML: numeric … or hex … works for any code point without needing a named entity.
• CSS content:: content: "\2026" — hex, no u+, terminated by whitespace or 6 chars.
• URL: use URL encoder — chars above ASCII must be percent-encoded.
