Unicode Symbols Widget for iPhone

Quick Access to 750+ Special Characters

Unicode symbols—arrows (→ ← ↑), bullets (• ◦ ▪), stars (★ ☆), math signs (≈ ≠ ∞), and decorative glyphs—are useful for notes, social media captions, and document formatting. But finding them on iPhone requires switching keyboards, opening character maps, or Googling "arrow symbol copy paste."

A unicode symbols widget puts 750+ characters on your home screen, organized by category, so you can tap‑to‑copy any symbol in seconds. It's perfect for writers, designers, students, and anyone who uses special characters regularly.

How the Unicode Symbols Widget Works

The widget displays a grid of commonly used symbols on your home screen. Tap any symbol and it copies to your clipboard instantly. Then paste it into Notes, Messages, Mail, or any app.

For full access to all 750+ symbols, tap the widget to open a full‑screen mini app where symbols are organized into categories: Arrows, Shapes, Currency, Math, Bullets, Stars, Hearts, and more. Search by name or browse visually.

Tap any symbol to copy it instantly to your clipboard.

Pro Tips for Using Unicode Symbols

• Create symbol shortcuts: Save frequently used symbols (→ • ★) in iOS Text Replacement (Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement) for instant autocomplete.
• Combine with sticky notes: Use unicode symbols in sticky note widgets to create visual bullet lists or decorative headers.
• Social media formatting: Add arrows, stars, or dividers to Instagram captions, tweets, or LinkedIn posts for visual flair.
