Some common symbols include:<\/p>\r\n<h2>\u2665 \u2605 \u2713 \u263a \u266a \u2192 \u221e \u20ac<\/h2>\r\n<p>You can use them in documents, social media bios, usernames, captions, business cards, designs, and keyboard shortcuts. In this guide, you'll learn how to type symbols on Windows, Mac, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Google Docs, iPhone, Android, Chromebook, HTML, and more. You can also copy and paste the symbols below if you need them quickly.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Quick Answer<\/h2>\r\n<p>The fastest way to type a common symbol like \u2665 or \u2192 is a classic Alt code \u2014 hold Alt and type a number from 1\u201331 on the numeric keypad (Alt+3 for \u2665, Alt+26 for \u2192). For symbols without an Alt code, like \u2605 or \u2713, type the Unicode code (e.g., 2605) in Word and press Alt+X, or just copy and paste it from the list below.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Symbols Copy and Paste<\/h2>\r\n<p>Click any symbol below to copy it.
