How to use the Text Symbols & Special Characters

Search by name (“check”, “arrow”, “degree”) or pick a group such as Arrows, Math or Box drawing.
Click a symbol to copy it and add it to the collection bar; keep clicking to build a string.
Use the detail panel for the HTML entity, decimal and hex codes, CSS escape and JavaScript escape.
Need an invisible character? The Spaces & invisible group has no-break, thin, zero-width and other special spaces.

Special and invisible spaces

Unicode has more than a dozen spaces. A no-break space keeps “10 km” or “Mr. Smith” on one line; a thin space separates thousands (10 000); a zero-width space allows a line break inside long URLs or words without showing anything. In Webflow you can type them directly into text fields. Watch out: invisible characters copied from Word, PDFs or AI tools can break code, URLs and CMS slugs — find and remove them with the Unicode Character Inspector.

Symbols vs icons

Text symbols scale with the font, cost no extra requests and are perfect for lists, prices and short UI hints. Their look depends on the font, and some (☀ ✈ ❤) may turn into colour emoji on phones — append the variation selector U+FE0E to force the text style. For brand-consistent UI icons use SVG instead; the SVG to Webflow tool pastes them straight into the Designer.

Superscripts and fractions

Characters like ² ³ ½ ¼ are real characters, so they survive copy-paste into social posts and CMS fields where <sup> isn’t available. For whole styled words on social media use the Bold Text Generator.

Frequently asked questions

How do I type a check mark ✓?

Click it here to copy, then paste. In HTML use ✓ (✓) or ✔ (✔). On a Mac you can also use Ctrl+Cmd+Space and search “check”.

How do I copy an invisible character or blank space?

Open the “Spaces & invisible” group and click the space you need — for example the zero-width space or the Hangul filler, which many apps accept as a “blank” name.

Why does my symbol show as an emoji?

Some symbols have both a text and an emoji presentation. Phones often prefer the emoji. Add the variation selector U+FE0E right after the symbol to request the text style.

What are kaomoji?

Japanese-style text faces built from characters, like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ or (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻. They work anywhere plain text works, unlike images or custom emoji.
