# Copy Paste Characters

Click to copy special characters, symbols, arrows, math operators, Greek letters, and currency signs. Plain Unicode, works everywhere.

## How It Works

1. **Find your character** — Browse categories — arrows, math, currency, Greek letters, box drawing, and more — or scan the grid visually.
2. **Click to copy** — Click any character and it's instantly copied to your clipboard. A brief flash confirms the copy.
3. **Paste anywhere** — Switch to your editor, doc, or terminal and paste. The character is plain Unicode — it works everywhere.

## FAQ

### Do these characters work in all apps?

Yes. Every character here is standard Unicode. It works in any app that supports text — browsers, editors, terminals, word processors, Slack, email, and more.

### What's the difference between the space characters?

NBSP (non-breaking space) prevents line breaks between words. EM SP and EN SP are typographic spaces of specific widths. THIN SP is a narrow space used in numbers (e.g. 10 000). ZW SP (zero-width space) is invisible and useful for allowing line breaks in long strings.

### Can I use these in code?

Yes, but be careful. Some characters like zero-width spaces can cause hard-to-debug issues in source code. For code, hover over a character to see its Unicode code point (e.g. U+2014 for em dash) and use the escape sequence instead.

### Why are some characters showing as squares or blanks?

Your browser or OS may lack the font to render certain Unicode characters. This is especially common with newer emoji or rare scripts. The character is still valid — it will render correctly on systems that support it.

### Is any data sent to a server?

No. Copying uses the browser's Clipboard API. Nothing leaves your machine.
