Infinity Symbols: types, meanings and practical differences
Infinity represents an unbounded quantity in mathematics and an enduring idea in decorative writing.
These handle amounts, equations, money and ordered labels. That amounts to 8 copyable values here — 7 of them one character long, 1 longer.
Names such as Infinity, Permanent Paper Sign, Incomplete Infinity, Infinity Negated With Vertical Bar appear here, and counting every entry puts Infinity (2), Permanent Paper Sign (1), Incomplete Infinity (1) at the top. Single-character values span U+221E to U+A74E.

What this inventory contains
Where infinity symbols sit in the code space
The span runs U+221E to U+A74E. By Unicode general category that is symbol 6, letter 1.
Recurring formal-name families
Counted across the stored entries, the commonest name patterns are Infinity (2), Permanent Paper Sign (1), Incomplete Infinity (1).
Joiners, selectors and length
Sequence count is 1. Joiners appear in 0, variation selectors in 0, and the deepest entry stacks 2 code points.
Which one should you use
The easy mix-up is Infinity versus Infinity Negated With Vertical Bar. They are different characters: U+221E and U+29DE. Try symbol first — 5 to pick from.
Leave emoji or pictograph unless nothing else fits. Colour or no colour is the first choice: 1 emoji, 7 plain. Test the result in the real app before you use it.
The grouping here follows practical use, not Unicode's formal categories.
5Symbol
Ordinary text symbols, styled by your CSS. 62% here.
1Emoji or pictograph
Drawn by the operating system, not your font. 12% here.
1Letter
Letterforms borrowed for their shape. 12% here.

Infinity Symbols explained in plain English
Short summary
Pick from 8 infinity symbols on this page. The largest set is symbol, with 5. They come mostly from one part of Unicode: Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B. 7 are plain text. The other 1 are emoji, so your phone or computer draws them in colour.
How the 4 groups divide
Symbol is the biggest at 5. The rest split between emoji or pictograph, letter and text sequence.
Where they live in Unicode
They come from Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B (4), Mathematical Operators (2) and Miscellaneous Symbols (1). The range is U+221E to U+A74E. That spread is why fonts disagree.
Easy to confuse
Infinity is not Infinity Negated With Vertical Bar. Read the name, not the shape.
1 entries are sequences
Half-copying breaks 1 of these. Take the whole value.

Infinity symbols separate mathematics from decorative forever motifs
The familiar infinity sign represents an unbounded concept, while emoji presentation and modified variants can serve expressive or specialist notation.
| Form | Likely role | Precision check |
|---|---|---|
| ∞ | Mathematical infinity or unbounded limit | Define the expression; the symbol is not an ordinary numeric value. |
| ♾ | Emoji-style infinity and permanence | Platform artwork and color can change after pasting. |
| ⧜ ⧝ ⧞ ⧟ | Special mathematical or operator variants | Use only when the notation source calls for the exact formal character. |
| Ꝏ | Historic letterform resembling a double o | Visual resemblance does not make it a mathematical infinity sign. |
Practical note: For equations, preserve the operator selected by the source and use a math renderer when layout matters. For decorative use, add words if forever or continuity is the intended message.

Tip: A symbol should decorate a label, not replace it — plain words keep the meaning available to search and to assistive technology.

How to use infinity symbols
Copying stores text, so the value survives the clipboard intact. Paste it with Ctrl V, ⌘ V or your device's Paste command.
01
Equations and technical documents
Start with Infinity. It works nearly everywhere.
02
Prices, measurements and data labels
For prices, measurements and data labels, choose among the 5 symbol entries, then check the weight sits comfortably beside your type.
03
Numbered steps and diagram keys
When creating numbered steps and diagram keys, paste the complete entry — several of these are multi-code-point sequences that break if truncated.

How to type these infinity symbols directly
You do not have to copy. Each code point below doubles as a keyboard code — decimal for a Windows alt code, hexadecimal for Word and macOS.
| Character | Name | Windows | Hex | HTML |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ∞ | Infinity | Alt 8734 | 221E | ∞ |
| ♾ | Permanent Paper Sign | Alt 9854 | 267E | ♾ |
| ⧜ | Incomplete Infinity | Alt 10716 | 29DC | ⧜ |
| ⧞ | Infinity Negated With Vertical Bar | Alt 10718 | 29DE | ⧞ |
| ⧝ | Tie Over Infinity | Alt 10717 | 29DD | ⧝ |
| ⧟ | Double-Ended Multimap | Alt 10719 | 29DF | ⧟ |
Two limits apply to alt codes: a physical keypad, and a ceiling at U+FFFF. A further 1 are sequences, which no shortcut reproduces — copy those instead. Full per-platform instructions live in the keyboard guide.
06
How infinity symbols render across fonts, apps and devices
Most of these live in one place: Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B holds 57% of them. The rest come from Mathematical Operators and Miscellaneous Symbols. 7 act like letters.
They take the colour of the text around them. 1 are emoji and arrive in colour you cannot change. Watch the 1 that use several characters at once.
Copy the whole thing, or it breaks apart.
A pasted entry is redrawn by the receiving application's font. Expect small differences in width and weight across devices, and larger ones where a font lacks the character entirely.

Infinity Symbols questions and answers
What is the difference between Infinity and Infinity Negated With Vertical Bar?+
They are two distinct Unicode characters: Infinity is U+221E (HTML ∞) and Infinity Negated With Vertical Bar is U+29DE (HTML ⧞). A font may draw them almost identically, but they sort and search as separate values.
What is the HTML code for infinity?+
Write ∞ (hex) or ∞ (decimal) to get ∞. Numeric references sidestep encoding problems in older toolchains.
Which infinity symbols work as plain text rather than emoji?+
7 of the 8 are ordinary text characters. They take the colour and weight of the surrounding font, which suits documents, code and interface labels. The other 1 are emoji and arrive as colour artwork you cannot restyle.
Why does one of these infinity symbols split apart when I paste it?+
1 entries here are sequences of more than one code point. If the destination does not support the sequence, or if the copy was truncated, the parts render individually. Copy the entry with the button rather than by selecting the characters.
Which Unicode block are these infinity symbols in?+
The answer is Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B, covering 4 of them; the rest come from Mathematical Operators and Miscellaneous Symbols. Older blocks are the safe ones; anything added recently needs testing first.
Which infinity symbol should I choose?+
The easy mix-up is <b>Infinity</b> versus <b>Infinity Negated With Vertical Bar</b>. They are different characters: U+221E and U+29DE. Try <b>symbol</b> first — <b>5</b> to pick from. Leave emoji or pictograph unless nothing else fits. Colour or no colour is the first choice: <b>1</b> emoji, <b>7</b> plain. Test the result in the real app before you use it.

The data behind this page
All counts derive from the 8 values actually stored for this collection. Rather than curating names by hand, this page reads them from the Unicode 17.0 database, and takes emoji membership from the standard's own data files.

- Unicode emoji-test.txt (fully-qualified emoji sequences and grouping)
