Glyphy

Glyphy is one of those tools you forget you use until you need it again. It’s a quick and dirty way to grab styled characters, symbols, and decorative text when you don’t want to dig through endless character maps or pull open a design app just to find a checkmark or curly quote.

The interface is dead simple. Search a symbol or click through categories, then copy and drop it into whatever you’re working on. It covers everything from arrows and bullets to emoji-style icons, glitch text, and faux type effects that can work for quick mockups or social posts. There’s no account, no customization, and no real control. But that’s also what makes it fast.

You’re not building fonts here. This is a lightweight utility for quick wins — placeholder symbols, fun text, or visual tweaks when you need something now. It won’t replace proper typography, and it’s not meant to. But if you want a stripped-back character picker that doesn’t waste your time, Glyphy gets the job done.
