I’ve written about aesthetic text symbols before. In fact, I wrote an entire post titled “100+ Aesthetic Text Symbols for Social Media Bios“. But since that article was written in 2019, the Unicode standard has evolved a bit, and there are now more symbols available than ever.
So today, I want to revisit the topic with an updated list of aesthetic text symbols for bios. And this time around, I’m going to break them down into categories so that you can find exactly what you need when designing your social media bio.
If you’re new to using aesthetic text symbols in your bios, here’s a quick definition…
What Are Aesthetic Text Symbols?
Aesthetic text symbols (sometimes called “emoji” or “text emojis”) are Unicode characters used in text formatting. They’re not images like regular emojis, but they do look very similar to emoji and are often used together in the same way. These symbols are also sometimes called “text emojis” because they’re used to decorate text, just like emoji are used to decorate text.
These symbols work on any device and platform without needing a special app. So whether you use an iPhone, Android phone, Mac, or Windows computer, you’ll be able to see these symbols in your bios.
Now let’s take a closer look at the various categories of aesthetic text symbols and how you can use them in your bios.
Categories of Aesthetic Text Symbols
Here are the main categories of aesthetic text symbols that you’ll find in bios.
Hearts
There are so many heart symbols available in Unicode. You can use them alone as a symbol, or you can combine them with other symbols to create a unique aesthetic.
Stars
Like hearts, stars come in all different shapes and sizes. There are also some that look more like sparkles or diamonds.
Flowers
Some people love flowers, and others prefer to avoid them. Either way, there are quite a few flower symbols to choose from.
Moon
There are quite a few moon symbols, but most of them are crescent moons.
Crown
There are quite a few crown symbols, but most of them are crowns.
Sparkles
There are quite a few sparkle symbols, but most of them are stars or diamond-shaped.
Arrows
There are quite a few arrow symbols, but most of them are arrows pointing right.
Dividers
Dividers are great for separating sections of text in your bios. There are quite a few divider symbols to choose from.
Instagram Bio-Specific
There are quite a few symbols that only appear in Instagram bios. Some of them aren’t even available on other platforms.
How To Use Aesthetic Text Symbols In Bios
When using aesthetic text symbols in bios, there are a few things you should keep in mind.
First, don’t overdo it. Use them sparingly and only where appropriate.
Second, make sure that your text is readable. If you use too many symbols, your text may become unreadable.
Third, use them consistently. Don’t mix and match symbols unless they’re similar in shape and style.
Fourth, use them creatively. There are so many ways to use aesthetic text symbols in bios, and I encourage you to get creative with them!
Finally, remember that they’re decorative. They’re meant to enhance your text, not replace it.
And if you’d like to play around with them yourself, you can find free generators online that allow you to try out different combinations.
You can also combine symbols with stylized fonts and themed words, which can be helpful if you want to create a more cohesive aesthetic across your social media bios.
