To enhance visual communication, we can add symbols to our content using their corresponding HTML codes or by directly inserting images. Below are two simple methods to insert symbols into our content
Here are a few mostly used symbols and their HTML code.
| Symbols | HTML Code |
| 🟢 Large green circle | 🟢 |
| 🔴 Large red circle | 🔴 |
| 👉 Right pointing backhand index | 👉 |
| 👈 Left pointing backhand index | 👈 |
Method 1: Using HTML Code
Copy the HTML code of the symbol and paste it into the Text editor (not the Visual editor). After clicking Save Changes, the symbol will be rendered and displayed correctly.
Method 2: Inserting Images
We can also copy and paste an image of the symbol directly into the editor. However, using the HTML code is more efficient and flexible, especially for consistent styling and faster page loads.
