Every character, symbol and emoji you keep having to google — searchable, copyable, and explained.
Install Glyph Catalog for one-tap access, even offline.
On any app: select the character above and copy — or use the Alt + X trick in Word/Outlook (type the hex code, then press Alt+X to convert it).
Win + . (period) or Win + ; — opens the emoji, symbol and kaomoji picker anywhere you can type.
Alt + numpad digits — hold Alt and type a code on the numeric keypad (e.g. Alt+0233 gives é). Only works for the Latin‑1 range (0–255) and needs a physical numpad.
In Word / Outlook: type a character's hex code, then press Alt + X to convert the code into the character (and back again).
Ctrl + Cmd + Space — opens the Character Viewer, searchable by name, with recents and favourites.
Option‑key combos type accented letters directly, e.g. ⌥+e then the letter for acute accents (é, á, ó…), ⌥+u then the letter for umlauts (ü, ö…), ⌥+n then the letter for tildes (ñ, ã).
Ctrl + Shift + U, then type the hex code, then press Enter or Space (GTK apps). In IBus, tap Ctrl + Shift + E to search characters by name as you type.
The fastest method everywhere is usually the one this page is built for: search by name here, tap to copy, then paste. No codes to remember.
