Keyboard Input Methods
The Bitcoin sign is not printed on any physical keyboard layout, so there is no dedicated shortcut. These are the generic Unicode entry methods each platform supports for typing U+20BF directly.
| System | Method | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Windows (Microsoft Word) | Type the hex code 20BF, then press Alt+X to convert it. | |
| Windows (Character Map) | Run charmap.exe, search "Bitcoin", copy the glyph. | |
| Mac (Character Viewer) | Opens Character Viewer; search "bitcoin" and double-click the result. | |
| Mac (Unicode Hex Input) | Requires switching the input source to Unicode Hex Input first. | |
| Linux (GTK/IBus) | Type the hex code, then press Enter or Space. | |
| Any keyboard layout | none | No layout prints ₿ on a physical key — use one of the Unicode methods above, or copy it from this page. |

Summary
Copy the Bitcoin symbol (₿) and find its Unicode value, HTML entity, and how to type it on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
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).
- Check the input method table for your OS — there is no dedicated key, so each platform uses a generic Unicode entry method.
- Use the "Try it" box to format an amount as a BTC value, either with full satoshi precision or a rounded price style.
Use cases
- Insert ₿ into a price or invoice line when your keyboard has no Bitcoin key.
- Format a BTC amount with full 8-decimal satoshi precision.
- Paste the HTML numeric entity ₿ when a raw ₿ gets mangled by legacy page encoding.
- Escape ₿ as %E2%82%BF in a URL query string or API request.
- Look up the correct Unicode code point before hardcoding it in a font or icon set.
- Type ₿ on Windows or Mac using the built-in Unicode hex input methods.
