Welcome to TypeAndCopy. We make it easier to find, copy, and type the characters that are not always easy to reach on a keyboard—from ñ and é to arrows, currency signs, and mathematical symbols.
Maybe you need one symbol for a message, an accented name for a document, or a shortcut you can use again. Our free tools and typing guides give you a practical place to start.
Find the right character
Browse Symbol Collections for arrows, punctuation, math symbols, currency signs, hearts, Greek letters, and more. Search by a familiar name or Unicode code point, then select a character to copy it. Each code point helps distinguish characters that look alike but have different meanings.
Write with accents
The Accent Keyboard lets you compose a word, name, or longer message and insert accented letters where you need them. When you are finished, copy the text into your document or app.
Learn shortcuts and explore Unicode styles
Use the Windows Alt Codes & Mac Shortcuts Finder to look up common symbols and the available Windows, Mac, Unicode, and HTML information. Our typing guides explain how to use characters in different devices and apps, including practical alternatives when a shortcut does not work.
The Unicode Font Generator offers 30 styles and effects for short pieces of text. It uses Unicode characters rather than installing a font, so the result can look different across apps or be harder to read with assistive technology. For important information, ordinary text is often the clearer choice.
Clear guidance for different devices
Keyboard layouts, operating systems, fonts, and applications do not all behave the same way. A Word-specific shortcut may not work in another Windows app, and a symbol can appear differently on another device. Our guides identify those differences where relevant and provide copy-and-paste or character-picker alternatives.
We aim to keep the site useful and straightforward. If a character, shortcut, or tool behaves differently on your device, feedback helps us find and correct the problem. Explore all TypeAndCopy tools to get started.
