Sometimes you need a character that is not on your keyboard — an arrow (→), a currency sign (€), a mathematical symbol (≤), or an accented letter. Hunting for it is a pain. Our free online character map lets you browse Unicode blocks and copy any character with a single click, along with its code point details.
What Is a Character Map?
A character map is a browsable index of characters organised into Unicode blocks. Unicode is the universal standard that assigns a unique number — a code point — to every character in every writing system, plus symbols, punctuation, and emoji. A character map lets you explore these characters visually and copy the one you need.
How to Use the Character Map
- Browse the Unicode blocks — arrows, currency, mathematical symbols, punctuation, accented letters, and more.
- Click any character to copy it instantly.
- View its details — the code point (like
U+2192), and its HTML, CSS, and JavaScript escape forms.
Everything runs in your browser, so it works anywhere without installing system fonts or special software.
