Cool Symbols for Google Sites

Icons & Symbols β€’ Updated July 2025
Cool Symbols Widget

The Cool Symbols Widget puts a polished collection of ASCII symbols at your fingertips to enhance your Google Sites with professional design elements - no more tab switching or searching for the perfect symbol.

Let's talk about something simple... but weirdly time-consuming.

You know those tiny little characters that make a site feel more polished?
βœ“ Checkmarks. ☎ Phone icons. ✫ Stars for a bit of flair.
Or those neat circled numbers - β“΅β“Άβ“· - that help guide someone through a step-by-step?
Yeah. Those.

They're technically called ASCII symbols.

And while they're everywhere… they're nowhere when you actually need one inside Google Sites.

Here's how it usually goes (a.k.a. the Tab Dance):

  • You realize you want a checkmark.
  • You open a new tab.
  • You Google "checkmark ASCII symbol."
  • You end up on a sketchy-looking website with too many ads.
  • You finally copy it.
  • You switch tabs.
  • You paste it.
  • You do it all again five minutes later for a another icon.

And that's just one symbol. πŸ˜…

So I thought: "This is ridiculous. There's gotta be a better way."

Now there is.

With Cool Symbols inside SitesBuddy, you've got a clean, scrollable panel of popular symbols - right where you need them, no tab hopping required.

  • Open the extension.
  • Click the Cool Symbols tab.
  • Browse. Copy. Paste.

That's it.

No sketchy sites. No distractions.

Just the icons you actually want - when you actually need them.

Great For:

β˜‘ Designing Clean Lists

Use checkmarks (βœ“), stars (β˜…), or arrows (➜) to instantly elevate basic bullet points. Swap out default dots for symbols that feel intentional and on-brand.

β˜‘ Building Step-by-Step Guides

Drop in circled numbers (β‘ β‘‘β‘’) to create a visual flow for instructions or timelines. They're perfect for tutorials, how-tos, or onboarding sequences β€” no graphics needed.

β˜‘ Enhancing Contact Sections

Add phone (☎), mail (βœ‰), or location symbols next to your contact details to improve scannability and keep your layout tidy and professional.

β˜‘ Adding Micro-Details with Style

Use stars, dots, and lines to separate content or create subtle emphasis. These little touches bring balance and polish without heavy design work.

β˜‘ Smart Symbol Usage = Faster Comprehension

Use icons that your visitors already recognize to convey meaning faster - great for CTAs, feature highlights, or breaking up dense blocks of text.
