Extension summary

Symbol Finder is a simple extension that helps you find and copy any desired HTML5 symbol from the toolbar popup UI.

Simply open the UI and click on the desired category from the drop-down list at the top. Or, type a search keyword to see all matched symbols. To copy a symbol, please click on the individual icons to see details at the bottom of the UI (the icon will be copied to the clipboard automatically). There are more than 65000 icons available to choose from. Please note that within the search bar, as you type a word, icons will appear on the fly.

By default, only the most common symbols are loaded. If you want to load all 65000, please press the - Load Extra - button in the UI. Also, note that loading all icons may slow down the browser as the list is very large. Please load the complete list only if you need all icons, otherwise, use the default list.

If you see any bug or have a feature request, please fill the bug report form on the addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/symbol-finder.html).

User reviews

I love this add on as a college student who makes digital summaries. One thing that would make it better for me though is if there was an option to 'favorite' certain symbols that you personally use a lot, and have those appear in a separate page. Or some other way of organizing symbols for your own personal use. Thank you so much for creating this!
