Dingbats Symbols

Additional ornamental characters from the Dingbats block: scissors, pencils, telephones, pointing hands and the classic printer's ornaments.

This group holds 7 characters. They run from U+263A to U+266B, close enough together to share a neighbourhood but not a single contiguous run. They are drawn from Miscellaneous Symbols (7) in the Unicode Standard, which is what decides how each one is encoded and how software sorts and compares it.

Most of the traffic to this group is for ♪, ♫ and ☼. The phrase people type for the first of those is music note symbol, which is worth knowing if you are looking for it under another name.

All 7 come from Miscellaneous Symbols: weather, astrology, religion, games and a wide miscellany. A block is an address rather than a category, and this group is drawn from that block alone.

5 of the 7 have a Windows Alt code that works as printed. The rest are copy and paste, which works the same everywhere.

Every character below copies with one click. 5 of them have a guide page as well, with the Windows, Mac and HTML route written out.
