I've only learned one code by heart: ALT+0169 is the © symbol. Hold the Alt key while you press the number sequence then lift up on the ALT key. Some special characters can be inserted by pressing ALT+#, where the # is entered using the number pad. Windows: Inserting Special Symbols Using ALT Codes If you have found the Decimal code (which I have listed on this page for many symbols), you display it in html as &#NNNN (leaving out the 'x'). You can use the hexidecimal Character code value to display a character in html by entering it as &#xNNNN where NNNN is the hex code. Unfortunately, there isn't a good search feature to find what you want. IMPORTANT: The Arial font doesn't list many Unicode symbols, so change the Font to ' Segoe UI Symbol' then in the Subset dropdown, select ' Miscellaneous Symbols' and start scrolling down. It will tell you the name of the symbol as well as the character code. You can browse some of the unicode characters using the Insert > Symbol dialog.

My favorite searchable resource for seeing what emojis look like in other software is 2. If you are editing the text or formula within a cell, then it will paste just the character (instead of the formatting from the web page). Usually, you can just select the unicode character from your browser and press Ctrl+ c to copy it, then Ctrl+ v to paste it into Excel. There are many places on the internet to find lists of unicode characters.
