How to Copy and Paste Number Symbols
Copying a number symbol from this page is the fastest way to add one to your document, list, or message. Click any number symbol above and it drops into the copyboard at the top of the page, then press Copy and paste it wherever you need it.

How to Type Superscript and Subscript Numbers
In Word, the fastest way to get a superscript number is to select the digit and press Ctrl + Shift + = (or Cmd + Shift + = on Mac), and for subscript press Ctrl + = (Cmd + = on Mac). On a keyboard without a shortcut key, copying the number symbol directly from this page works everywhere, including chat apps and social media where formatting shortcuts do not apply.
What Do ℝ, ℕ, ℚ and ℂ Mean?
These letter-based symbols are used in mathematics to represent entire sets of numbers, not a single value. They show up constantly in algebra, calculus, and number theory to describe what kind of numbers a problem is working with.
| Symbol | Name | What it represents |
|---|---|---|
| ℕ | Natural numbers | Counting numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4… |
| ℤ | Integers | Whole numbers including negatives: …-2, -1, 0, 1, 2… |
| ℚ | Rational numbers | Any number that can be written as a fraction |
| ℝ | Real numbers | All rational and irrational numbers on the number line |
| ℂ | Complex numbers | Numbers with a real and an imaginary part |
In LaTeX, these symbols come from the \mathbb command, for example \mathbb{R} produces ℝ and \mathbb{N} produces ℕ. If you just need the character itself, copying it from the grid above is quicker than loading a LaTeX package.
What Is the # Symbol Called?
The # symbol goes by several names depending on where you are and how it is used. In the United States it is usually called the pound sign or number sign, while on social media it is called a hashtag. In music notation the same shaped symbol is called a sharp. Whatever you call it, the character itself is the same, so you can copy it from the grid above and use it in any of these contexts.
