Special Characters on LinkedIn: Complete List

Want to use arrows (→ ▸ ►), math symbols (± ÷ ×), currency (€ £ ¥), or other special characters on LinkedIn? You can — and it's easier than you think.

Why Special Characters Matter

Special characters make your posts visually distinct. In a sea of plain text, a well-placed arrow or symbol catches the eye. They're also useful for:

• Creating visual lists (→ item 1, → item 2)
• Adding professional symbols (© ™ ®)
• Math and data posts (± 5%, 3x growth)
• Currency references ($100K, €50K)

How to Add Special Characters on LinkedIn

LinkedIn's editor doesn't have a character map. You need to copy-paste Unicode characters. Link-Polish has a built-in Character Map with hundreds of symbols organized by category:

• Arrows: ← → ↑ ↓ ↔ ↕ ⇒ ⇐
• Math: ± × ÷ ≠ ≈ ≤ ≥ ∞
• Currency: $ € £ ¥ ₹ ₿
• Bullets: • ◆ ■ ▪ ★ ☆
• Checkmarks: ✓ ✗ ☐ ☑
• And many more...

Pro Tips

• Don't overuse special characters — 2-3 per post max
• Test on mobile — some symbols render differently
• Use arrows instead of numbers for lists (they look cleaner)
• Save your most-used symbols in a note for quick access
