Summary

This tool is a quick reference and copy page for the snowflake symbol (❄, U+2744) and its two Unicode siblings, the tight trifoliate snowflake (❅) and the heavy chevron snowflake (❆). It shows each glyph alongside its Unicode code point, HTML entity, CSS content value, and URL-encoded form, plus the real input methods for typing it on Windows, Mac, and Linux since no standard keyboard layout has a dedicated snowflake key. Click any symbol or row to copy it straight to your clipboard.

How it works

  1. Click the large ❄ symbol to copy the plain character to your clipboard.
  2. Or click any row in the Formats list to copy that exact encoded form (Unicode, HTML entity, CSS, URL encoding).
  3. Click either related glyph (❅ or ❆) to copy a different snowflake style.
  4. Check the input methods table for a real way to type it directly on Windows, Mac, or Linux.

Use cases

  • Add a snowflake to a winter sale banner or seasonal email subject line.
  • 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 snow-themed UI.
  • Escape ❄ as %E2%9D%84 in a URL query string or API request.
  • Pick between the three snowflake styles (❄, ❅, ❆) for a specific visual weight.
  • Look up a real, working way to type the symbol instead of guessing an Alt code.
