Summary
The at sign (@) is Unicode U+0040 and is used in email addresses, social handles, and programming syntax. Copy it or find the Alt code, HTML entity, and keyboard shortcut for your layout.
How it works
- Click the large @ symbol to copy the plain character to your clipboard.
- Or click any row in the Formats list to copy that exact encoded form (Unicode, HTML entity, URL encoding).
- Switch to the Fullwidth tab to copy the wide CJK-width variant instead.
- Check the keyboard shortcut table for your OS and keyboard layout — the @ key moves around by country.
- Use the "Try it" box to combine a username and domain into an email address and copy the result.
Use cases
- Insert an email separator without an editor turning it into a mention link.
- Type @ on a keyboard layout where it is not Shift+2, such as UK, German, French, or Spanish.
- Copy the fullwidth ＠ for CJK typesetting alongside wide characters.
- Insert the HTML entity @ when a raw @ gets stripped by a text filter.
- Escape @ as %40 in a URL query string or a mailto link.
- Look up the Alt code for pasting into legacy software that blocks copy-paste.
- Build a quick username@domain string for a test account or example.
