welcome to
the symbols page!

Hello there silent_but_crazy, Holly (silent_but_crazy) here, and welcome to the symbols page! OuO
This is a little page of symbols that I obtained from Character Map*--all in size 4 text. Although not a complete list, I think these are some of the most common/helpful. The appearance of many symbols varies from browser to browser, as well. Also, they are not Webdings or Wingdings.
However, some symbols may not be viewable by older computers, or on computers that don't have Microsoft Office because some font faces that come with Office contain most of these symbols. They are SimSun and any one of the following: MS Gothic, MS Mincho, MS PGothic, or MS PMincho.
Feel free to neomail me if you have any feedback, suggestions, criticisms, or the like! I really appreciate any suggestions or constructive criticism because I'm always looking for ways to make this site more user-friendly! ^u^

***UPDATE ON PASTEABLE SPACES: Isaac has let me know that the pasteable spaces on this page no longer work with Neopets filters. Boo! But thankfully he provided another character (　　　　　　　　　　) that should work. P.S. He also has a picture font guide at BoardPaint!

Character Map: You can get to it from the Start Menu » Accessories » System Tools. Macs have a similar called Character Palette (thanks Eliza for letting me know) that you can open through System Preferences » Personal » International » Input Menu, and click on the box next to "Character Palette." It should have a little flag icon. Anyway I highly recommend checking it out; it's really cool! And you'll find many, many more symbols that aren't on this page.

basics

mostly commonly used/likely to be seen on all computers

letters: αεηŋικστωø
blocks: ▀▄█▌▐░▒▓
^I recommend these blocks for block fonts.
basic symbols: «»×₪▲►▼◄♠♣♥♦
◊☼♀♂▬○●☺☻★☆
music notes: ♩♪♫♬♭♮♯
pasteable space (wider than the old spaces): [　　　　　　　　]
An alternative to this space is using alt+255 on your number pad for regular-width, non-pasteable spaces.
symbol for underlines: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

letters

Greek letters: αγεηικνρςστυχωϞϟ
other common letters: ƒℓïḯÏÖÜöõòóü
other languages: ÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÐÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜ
àáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûü
miscellaneous letters: ʀʁʌʍʎʏʙʜʞʟᴄᴅᴇᴊᴋᴍᴎᴏᴥᴘᴙᴚᴛᴜ
ℂℇℊℋℍℎℏℐℑℒℓℕ℘ℙℚ
ℛℜℝℤℬℭℯℰℱℳℴ
DO use letter symbols in moderation. Do NOT too many letter symbols at once in a font. It's quite easy for your sig to look messy and hard to read. Of course, however much you want to use alt letters is up to you, but keep this in mind.

blocks

▀▄█▌▐░▒▓
▁▂▃▅▆▇▉▊▋▌▍▎▏▔▕
When the blocks in the second line are used with the blocks in the first line for a picture block font, there will be large gaps between the line breaks in most browsers.

card suits

♠♣♥♦♡♢♤♧
FYI: Some browsers/computers may see the unfilled heart as three horizontal lines stacked on top of each other. If you want it to show up in all browsers, I advise bolding the heart.

astrological/planet signs

Both planetary and zodiac signs are in order.
planets: ☿♀♁♂♃♄♅♆♇
zodiac: ♈♉♊♋♌♍♎♏♐♑♒♓

Regular apostrophes on the Neoboards will disappear. To get one that stays, use the unshifted tilde (~) key. Alternatively, you can use the last apostrophe on the previous line (which is actually an acute accent).

Keep in mind that these signs have meanings such as integral, extremely greater/less than, approximately, etc... in case a math aficionado calls you out on a symbol they think is out of place in your font! Haha.
