# Special Characters

> Browse and copy 150+ Unicode symbols (arrows, math, currency, Greek, and shapes). Search by name; copy as character, HTML entity, or codepoint.

Free special character picker. Browse and copy 150+ Unicode symbols organized by category: arrows (→ ←), math (∞ ±), currency ($ €), Greek (π Σ), shapes, punctuation, and more. Search by name, favorite the ones you use most, and copy as character, HTML entity, or code point.

## Command line (recommended for agents)

npx @brandstack/cli special-characters <query> [--format char|html|code] [--first] [--json] — offline; searches the same 150+ symbol catalog by name or alias.

The CLI runs the same engine as this page — same logic, same output contract — with no browser and no account. Browser automation below is the fallback.

## How to use it

1. Agents: run `npx @brandstack/cli special-characters "em dash" --first` for the character itself, or `--format html` / `--format code` for `&mdash;` / `U+2014`.
2. In the browser: search by name (like "em dash" or "arrow") or browse by category.
3. Pick the copy format: character, HTML entity, or code point.
4. Click a symbol to copy it. Favorites persist in localStorage.

## Output

The chosen symbol as a character, HTML entity, or code point. Web: the value lands on the clipboard, and the full dataset renders in the page, so values can also be read directly from the DOM.
