What these symbols are
Every character on this page is plain Unicode text, the same standard that defines letters and digits. Nothing here is an image or a font file, which is why a symbol can be copied from a web page and pasted into a game, a chat app or a profile.
Whether it then displays depends on the place you paste it. Each app has its own fonts and its own filter.
Where they work
| Place | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Valorant chat | Blocks and shades are reliable. Other symbols work only if the game font includes them, otherwise you get an empty box. |
| Riot ID (your name) | Letters and numbers only, from many alphabets. Decorative symbols are refused. |
| Discord, Twitch, tracker bios | Almost everything on this page displays. |
So the page is most useful for two things: building or repairing chat art with the block characters, and decorating names and bios outside the game.
Building chat art by hand
The first group, blocks and shades, is the toolkit of Valorant chat art. Full blocks draw, shades fill the background, and half blocks (▀ and ▄) double the vertical resolution. A row must be exactly 26 characters wide to line up with the next one. If that sounds tedious, it is: the text art generator does the counting for you, and the gallery has finished pieces.
Using the tray
Each symbol you click is copied on its own and also added to the dark tray at the bottom of the board. Click three stars and a sword, press Copy on the tray, and you have the whole combination in your clipboard. Clear empties it.
A word about invisible names
Blank names were a trend, and the characters that made them possible are listed in the last group. Treat them as a curiosity. Riot has tightened the Riot ID filter several times, and a name that hides who you are is the kind that gets reported. If you want a name that stands out and stays, the name ideas are a safer start, and the font generator gives you styled letters for profiles and bios.
