Tumblr Symbols

Moons, crosses, soft hearts and sparkle lines in the Tumblr aesthetic, grouped by the part of a blog they decorate. Click any symbol to copy it.

Tumblr symbols are the characters that decorated blog titles, blog descriptions and text posts through the pastel and soft-grunge years of Tumblr, and they still mark a blog as Tumblr-style: crescent moons ☾ ☽, crosses like ✞ and †, the Georgian letter ღ standing in for a heart, peace and yin-yang signs, and sparkle lines such as ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*. They are ordinary Unicode characters, so they copy and paste like any other text. The single symbols suit a blog title, the sparkle lines frame a description, and the dividers split a long text post into parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tumblr Symbols, Answered

What makes a symbol look Tumblr-style?

Mostly the mix: soft night-sky and flower characters like ☾ ✧ ✿ next to darker soft-grunge ones like ✞ and †, with ღ for hearts and sparkle lines around the title. None of these characters belong to Tumblr. The look comes from how its blogs combined them.

Why do some symbols show as boxes on my blog?

The text you save is the same for everyone, but each visitor's device draws it with its own fonts. A device with no font for a character draws a box in its place. Most of the single symbols here sit in the Miscellaneous Symbols and Dingbats blocks, which have been part of Unicode since its first version in 1991.

Can I make the letters of my blog title fancy too?

Yes. Symbols decorate around the words, while a font generator changes the letters themselves into bold, cursive or small-caps Unicode. The aesthetic fonts page linked below does that for any title.
