What is the Unicode code point for the flower symbol?

The main flower glyph ❀ is U+2740, officially named WHITE FLORETTE, part of the Dingbats block. The related glyphs are U+273F (BLACK FLORETTE, ✿), U+2698 (FLOWER, ⚘, in the Miscellaneous Symbols block), and U+2741 (EIGHT PETALLED OUTLINED BLACK FLORETTE, ❁).

Is there an Alt code for the flower symbol?

No standard Windows Alt code exists for it, because the symbol is outside the legacy Windows-1252 code page that Alt codes rely on. In Word, Outlook, and other Office apps, type 2740 and press Alt+X immediately after to convert it into ❀.

How do I type ❀ on a Mac?

Press Control+Command+Space to open the Character Viewer, then search "florette" or "flower" and double-click the result to insert it.

How do I type ❀ on Windows without Word?

Open Character Map (search "charmap" in the Start menu), search for "florette", select the character, and copy it. Windows 10 and 11 also have a built-in emoji and symbols panel at Win+. (period) with a search box.

How do I type ❀ on Linux?

In GTK-based apps (GNOME, Firefox, and others), press Ctrl+Shift+U, type 2740, then press Enter or Space to insert the character.

What is the HTML entity for the flower symbol?

There is no named HTML entity for it. Use the numeric entity ❀ or the hex form ❀, both render the same ❀ character.

What is the difference between this page and the Plant Emoji List?

This page is a focused copy tool for the plain-text flower dingbat symbols (❀, ✿, ⚘, ❁) used in code, CSS, and older text fields, with the exact Unicode, HTML, and CSS encoding for each. The Plant Emoji List is a browsable grid of full-color plant and flower emoji (🌸, 🌹, 🌻, and more) without per-glyph encoding detail.

How it works

Pick a glyph from the four tabs: Flower, Black Florette, Outline Flower, or Eight Petalled.
Click the large glyph 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, CSS, URL encoding).

Use cases

Add a flower to a spring sale banner, wedding invite, or bullet list without loading an emoji font.
Paste the HTML entity ❀ when a raw ❀ gets mangled by legacy page encoding.
Use the CSS content value in a ::before or ::after pseudo-element for a floral divider or list marker.
Escape ❀ as %E2%9D%80 in a URL query string or API request.
Pick between the four flower glyphs (❀, ✿, ⚘, ❁) for a specific visual weight or outline style.
Look up a real, working way to type the symbol instead of guessing an Alt code.
