Special Chars
Special Chars — runs in your browser. Inputs are not stored.
Special character set
Clicking also copies straight to the clipboard.
How to use
- In Set, choose punctuation, arrows, math and logic, currency, quotes, or box drawing.
- Click a character in the grid to copy it to the clipboard at once; it is also appended in the selected-characters box below.
- Collect several, then Copy to take the whole collected string.
- Clear empties only the selected-characters box. The set stays the same.
- If Windows shows □, that is a font-support issue. Switch sets or paste into an editor to check.
Key concepts
The special character picker is for copyright signs, arrows, multiplication dots, won and dollar signs, smart quotes, and box-drawing characters without emoji. Unicode symbols are grouped by set; you narrow the range by switching sets instead of a search box. Emoji are not included.
The browser may ask for clipboard permission on click. There is no custom-symbol add-on; the list is fixed. Nothing is transmitted. Click puts one character on the clipboard immediately, and the box below can collect several symbols to copy together.
Example
Switch the set to arrows and click → to copy at once and stack → in selected characters. Switch to currency and tap ₩ then € to collect ₩€. Paste into a document, then Clear to reset only the collection. In the math set, tap ×÷± in a row for a formula draft. In currency, tap ₩ for a price. In quotes, tap “ ” to match quotation marks in a Korean document.

Frequently asked questions
Does the special character picker include emoji?
They were left out on purpose. Only punctuation and symbols are here. Use the OS emoji picker if you need emoji.
Can I search special characters?
There is no search box; narrow by set. There is no name search, so switch sets to find a character.
On Windows special characters show as □.
Some symbols can look broken depending on font support. Copy and check in another app. Unsupported symbols may appear as boxes.
Is clipboard permission required?
The browser may ask. You need to allow it for click-to-copy. If you deny permission, you may have to copy manually.
Can I add frequent characters to a custom set?
Sets are fixed for now. There is no saved custom set.
How do selected characters differ from click-to-copy?
A click puts that one character on the clipboard, and it is also appended in the selected-characters box so you can copy the whole collection with the Copy button.
