Keyboard Symbols ⌘ — Copy and Paste
Copy keyboard symbols instantly: click any symbol below, then paste it into a bio, caption, username, message, document, or profile field.
Keyboard symbols are useful for documenting shortcuts, showing controls, writing UI instructions, and decorating tech bios. Copy command, option, shift, return, delete, arrow, check, bullet, and box symbols that are difficult to type directly on many keyboards.
How to use keyboard symbols
Click a keyboard symbol to copy it. Use ⌘, ⌥, ⇧, and ⌃ for Mac shortcuts; arrows for key directions; ↵ and ⏎ for enter/return; and media-control symbols for UI notes. In tutorials, pair them with letters: ⌘ + C, ⇧ + Tab, or Ctrl + →.

Compatibility notes
This collection uses plain Unicode text, so the symbols work in most modern apps. Rare or decorative characters can look different across devices or appear as boxes on older fonts. For maximum compatibility, test the symbol on mobile before using it in a permanent username or profile.
