symbol
A Unicode symbol.
Typst defines common symbols so that they can easily be written with standard keyboards. The symbols are defined in modules, from which they can be accessed using field access notation:
- General symbols are defined in the
sym
module - Emoji are defined in the
emoji
module
Moreover, you can define custom symbols with the symbol function.
#sym.arrow.r \
#sym.gt.eq.not \
$gt.eq.not$ \
#emoji.face.halo

Many symbols have different variants, which can be selected by appending the modifiers with dot notation. The order of the modifiers is not relevant. Visit the documentation pages of the symbol modules and click on a symbol to see its available variants.
$arrow.l$ \
$arrow.r$ \
$arrow.t.quad$
