How to use them
- Click a symbol: it is copied.
- Open your app (Instagram, TikTok, Word, Discord…).
- Paste it where you want it.
Symbols are characters, not images: they follow your text size and, for text symbols, your text color. Colored emoji (like 💖) keep their own colors. Want styled letters too? Try the fancy font generator.
