Math & comparison — Copy and Paste

217 math & comparison characters for the symbols that make writing unambiguous. Tap any character to copy it — including the plain-text versions that survive any font.

Copy any character

Tap or click a character and it goes straight to your clipboard. These are Unicode text characters, not images, so they paste into any text field.

What these symbols are for

Mathematics is the one place where the exact symbol matters. A real not-equal sign, a real plus-minus and a real infinity leave no room for misreading, which is exactly why the typed approximations like ~= or sqrt are a bad habit worth dropping.

There are 217 characters in this set. The grid above is the fastest way to take one — tap it and it is on your clipboard. The table below gives the official Unicode name of each character, which is the name used by every database, font tool and search box.

How to copy and paste math & comparison

Every character on this page is a button, and the steps are identical on a phone, a tablet and a desktop:

Tap or click the math & comparison you want. A short confirmation appears at the bottom of the screen and the character is now on your clipboard.
Go to where you want it. A chat box, a social bio, a display name, a document, a spreadsheet cell, a caption — anything that accepts typing.
Paste it. Long-press and choose Paste on a phone, or press Ctrl+V on Windows and Command+V on a Mac. The character lands at the cursor.

Nothing is installed and nothing is uploaded. These are standard Unicode characters, so the device you are already holding knows how to draw them.

Where these characters work, and where they do not

Ordinary text is safe everywhere. The problems start with two groups: characters that need a font the receiving device may not ship with, and applications that deliberately filter what you can type.

Place	Works?	What to expect
Instagram, TikTok, X bio and captions	Yes	Symbols and emoji both display; a handful of rare glyphs may render as a box on older Android versions
Discord display name and messages	Yes	Almost everything works, including the rarer box-drawing characters
WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal	Yes	Full support for emoji and symbols
Word, Google Docs, Excel, Sheets	Yes	Fine on a desktop; fonts on older Office installs may miss the newest glyphs
Most online games (usernames)	Sometimes	Many titles strip anything outside their font. Test with one symbol first
SMS	Yes, but	An emoji can push a message into a longer billing segment

The practical rule: if you are decorating a bio or a document, paste freely. If you are building a username that has to survive a game login screen, start with one character, confirm it appears, then add the rest.

Frequently asked questions

How do I type a not-equal sign?Copy ≠ from here. On Windows Alt+8800 works with a numeric keypad.

What is the proper minus sign?−, which is longer than a hyphen. Using it stops subtraction looking like a dash.

Do these render in Word and Google Docs?Yes, all of them, in any current version of either.
