Add special characters/symbols in new cloud editor.

Kajsa

I've been looking at this page for how to add symbols to my Confluence pages.  I am using the new editor for Confluence Cloud and would like to add special characters like maths symbols of Greek letters. I can add emojis easy enough but can't seem to find a way to get other symbols without importing them as custom emojis or just copy-pasting from somewhere else.

Anyone know how to do this?

Hello @Kajsa !

As stated in the documentation:

Symbols and special characters were removed from the new editor. Use your operating systems's symbols as those are more comprehensive.

Link to full documentation:

• Use symbols, emojis, and special characters 

Since the Greek alphabet embodies a whole language they are not special characters.  Here is a definition for special characters:

A special character is a character that is not an alphabetic or numeric character

Link to page with the definition:

• Computer Hope - Special Characters  

Adding the Greek language as an option to your operating system or copying the characters from another source may be the two quickest ways to use those characters within Confluence.

I hope this helps! Let us hear from you.
