Summary

This tool is a copy and reference page for the peace symbol (☮, U+262E) and two related glyphs: the V-sign peace hand (✌) and the dove of peace (🕊). Switch between the three to see each one's Unicode code point, numeric HTML entity, CSS content escape, and URL-encoded bytes, then click to copy the exact form you need. A keyboard reference table and a small repeated-line builder are included below.

How it works

  1. Pick a glyph from the three tabs: peace symbol, V-sign hand, or dove of peace.
  2. Click the large glyph to copy the plain character to your clipboard.
  3. Or click any row in the Formats list to copy that exact encoded form (Unicode, HTML entity, CSS, URL encoding).
  4. Check the keyboard reference table for a real way to type or insert the glyph on your OS.
  5. Use the builder to copy a repeated line of the glyph for a banner or divider.

Use cases

  • Add ☮ to a peace-themed poster, T-shirt mockup, or social post.
  • Paste the numeric HTML entity ☮ when a raw ☮ character gets stripped by an older text field.
  • Use the CSS content value in a ::before or ::after pseudo-element for an icon built without an image file.
  • Escape ☮ as %E2%98%AE in a URL query string or filename.
  • Compare the circular peace symbol against the V-sign hand emoji (✌) before picking one for a design.
  • Look up a real, working way to type the symbol instead of guessing an Alt code.
