Text symbols
Emoji
A text symbol takes the colour and size of the text around it. An emoji renders in colour at emoji size and changes the line height of whatever field it sits in. For a name or a bio line, the text symbols above almost always behave better.
Where these symbols come from
∞ was introduced by the mathematician John Wallis in 1655 and entered Unicode as a mathematical operator. ♾ is a separate character — the permanent paper sign, used in publishing to mark acid-free paper that will last indefinitely. It looks almost identical and is the one that renders as an emoji.
What people use them for
Almost entirely decorative in bios and names, often paired with a date or a name. The mathematical ∞ is the right choice; the permanent paper sign ♾ gets picked by accident because it appears first in many symbol lists.
How to copy infinity symbol
- Tap or click the symbol you want. It goes straight to your clipboard — no selecting, no long press.
- Paste it wherever you need it: a bio, a message, a document, a spreadsheet.
- If it arrives in colour when you wanted it plain, you copied from the emoji row. Use the text symbols above instead.
Known problems
♾️ renders as a colour emoji on most platforms while ∞ stays in text colour. If you want it to match the surrounding text, use ∞.
These are not fonts, they are separate Unicode characters. Screen readers often read them wrong or skip them entirely. What that means.
Common questions
- What is the difference between infinity symbols and emoji?
- A text symbol takes the colour and size of the text around it, so it sits inside a name or a sentence without changing the line height. An emoji renders in colour at emoji size regardless of the surrounding text. They are different characters, not two versions of one — which is why the two groups above are listed separately.
- How do I copy a symbol on my phone?
- Tap it. Every symbol on this page copies to your clipboard on a single tap, with no selection or long press needed. Nothing is sent anywhere — the copying happens in your browser.
- Why does a symbol show as an empty rectangle?
- The font on that device does not cover the character. There is no fallback: for a reader whose font lacks it, the symbol is simply missing. Older Android builds and minimal desktop setups are where this happens most.
