About these punctuation
Punctuation the keyboard does not show: © ® ™ § ¶, dashes – —, typographic quotes “ ” « », ellipsis … and more.
This set has 109 symbols in 6 groups: copyright and trademark (8), typography (24), dashes (10), quotation marks (21), punctuation marks (26), on your keyboard (20).
The oldest came with Unicode 1.1 in 1993; the newest arrived in Unicode 11.0 (2018), so very old phones may miss a few.

Symbols or emoji?
None of these are emoji. They are 109 text characters that follow the colour and font of your text, which makes them easy to style.
Some characters exist in both forms. © (U+00A9) is a text symbol; add the invisible emoji selector U+FE0F and it becomes the emoji ©️ on most phones.

Questions people ask
How do I copy punctuation?
Tap a symbol and it is copied. To copy several at once, turn on Collect, tap them in order and press Copy all in the bar at the bottom. Your recent symbols appear above the grid next time.
Why do some punctuation show as boxes?
A box means your device has no font for that character. The oldest symbols here date from Unicode 1.1 (1993) and work everywhere; the newest come from Unicode 11.0 (2018) and need a recent system update.
How do I type © on a keyboard?
On Windows: Alt+0169. On a Mac: ⌥ Option+G. On a phone, copy © from here or add a text shortcut. All methods for ©.
Are these emoji?
No. They are text symbols: they follow your text colour and font, unlike emoji, which are colour pictures drawn by the device.
Where can I use them?
Anywhere you can type text: Instagram and TikTok bios, Discord, WhatsApp, Word, Google Docs, emails and most game chats. A few username fields accept only letters and numbers.
