Signs like the degree mark, plus-minus, or a currency symbol are awkward to type because they are buried under keyboard shortcuts that vary by device.
This page puts common signs in one grid, with punctuation and math signs first, so you can click a sign and paste it without memorising any shortcut.
How to use Copy and Paste Signs
- Open the signs grid, where punctuation and math signs appear at the top.
- Click the sign you want to copy it to the clipboard.
- Paste the sign into your text, or click more signs to keep them in the tray.
Use cases
- Adding a degree, percent, or plus-minus sign to a note.
- Inserting a currency sign that your keyboard hides.
- Dropping a math or punctuation sign into a document.
Good to know
Each sign is a Unicode character that pastes as text, so it stays editable and searchable. A few less common signs may look different across fonts, but core math and punctuation signs are widely supported.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a sign and a symbol?
In everyday use they overlap; here, signs lean toward punctuation, math, and currency marks rather than decorative shapes like stars or hearts.
How do I type these without this page?
Most need an alt code or an insert-symbol menu that differs by device, which is why copying from this grid is quicker.
Will a currency sign work in any app?
Common ones usually do; rarer currency signs depend on the font, so they may fall back to a box in some apps.
