How to Use the Symbol Tray

Click a symbol and it is copied. Paste it into your bio, caption or chat. Click several in a row to build a line, pasting after each one.

Stars, hearts, arrows, lines and brackets are the most useful. They work as dividers, bullets and accents.

Keep Symbols Few

One or two kinds are enough for a bio. Too many make it hard to read. Some symbols show as colour emoji on certain phones and as plain shapes on others.

Learn layouts in symbols for bios. Check the length with the character counter.

How to Use It

Type or edit the text in the box. Each result updates as you type. Press Copy next to the style you like, then paste it into your bio, caption, chat or username. If you see empty boxes after pasting, that app lacks the symbol, so try another style.
