Resource: HTML for fancy symbols

As a public service, I’m publishing what I found out about certain fancy symbols.

Helpful web pages:

1. Wingdings character set and equivalent Unicode characters (alanwood.net)

2. Unicode/UTF-8-character table – starting from code position 1F650 (utf8-chartable.de)

On a web page, one must use UTF-8 encoding, or the symbols won’t appear.

The font used in my Word source document was Segoe UI Symbol.

You can use this chart to insert these symbols onto your web page, in any of three ways.

(1) Insert into your code an expression, “&#x—–;”, replacing the hyphens with the five-character string from the “Unicode code point” column below;

(2) Insert into your code an expression, “&#——;”, replacing the hyphens with the six-digit expression from the “Decimal” column below;

(3) Click on the glyph itself below.  This will bring you to a roughly 250×280 pixel .png image, that you can either download or link to.Unicode code pointDecimalWingdings characterCharacter codeGlyphNameU+1F650128592Ò209🙐NORTH WEST POINTING LEAFU+1F651128593Ó210🙑SOUTH WEST POINTING LEAFU+1F652128594Ô211🙒NORTH EAST POINTING LEAFU+1F653128595[non-breaking space]212🙓SOUTH EAST POINTING LEAFU+1F654128596Ï206🙔TURNED NORTH WEST POINTING LEAFU+1F655128597Î205🙕TURNED SOUTH WEST POINTING LEAFU+1F656128598Ñ208🙖TURNED NORTH EAST POINTING LEAFU+1F657128599Ð207🙗TURNED SOUTH EAST POINTING LEAFU+1F658128600——🙘NORTH WEST POINTING VINE LEAFU+1F659128601——🙙SOUTH WEST POINTING VINE LEAFU+1F65A128602——🙚NORTH EAST POINTING VINE LEAFU+1F65B128603——🙛SOUTH EAST POINTING VINE LEAFU+1F65C128604›155🙜HEAVY NORTH WEST POINTING VINE LEAFU+1F65D128605œ156🙝HEAVY SOUTH WEST POINTING VINE LEAFU+1F65E128606š154🙞HEAVY NORTH EAST POINTING VINE LEAFU+1F65F128607Ë157🙟HEAVY SOUTH EAST POINTING VINE LEAFU+1F660128608—      (em dash)151🙠NORTH WEST POINTING BUDU+1F661128609˜152🙡SOUTH WEST POINTING BUDU+1F662128610–         (en dash)150🙢NORTH EAST POINTING BUDU+1F663128611™153🙣SOUTH EAST POINTING BUDU+1F664128612——🙤HEAVY NORTH WEST POINTING BUDU+1F665128613——🙥HEAVY SOUTH WEST POINTING BUDU+1F666128614——🙦HEAVY NORTH EAST POINTING BUDU+1F667128615——🙧HEAVY SOUTH EAST POINTING BUDU+1F668128616——🙨HOLLOW QUILT SQUARE ORNAMENTU+1F669128617——🙩HOLLOW QUILT SQUARE ORNAMENT IN BLACK SQUAREU+1F66A128618Ì203🙪SOLID QUILT SQUARE ORNAMENTU+1F66B128619Í204🙫SOLID QUILT SQUARE ORNAMENT IN BLACK SQUARE
