Symbols for Programmers
157 symbols

This reference provides every encoding format for each symbol — hex code points, JSON escapes, Python u-strings, HTML named entities, and CSS hex — so you can copy the exact format your code needs. The accompanying tools let you convert any character to any encoding on the fly.
