Feel free to copy or download and save the offical X logo, shown on the right side.
The ๐ text logo (๐) is actually a special Unicode character (called the mathematical double-struck capital X) that looks like Twitterโs new โXโ logo. Because itโs a standard text symbol (not an image), you can copy and paste it on most phones, computers, and apps just like an emoji or letter. Below, weโll show you simple ways to copy and use the ๐ logo on mobile apps, web platforms, and even save it as a keyboard shortcut for quick access. Weโll also share tips for using ๐ in your profile name, posts, bios, and comments in a fun way. Letโs get started! ๐
Using the ๐ symbol on your phone is as easy as copy-and-paste. Hereโs how to do it on popular mobile apps:
Copy the ๐ Symbol: First, copy the ๐ character to your clipboard (you can copy it from this page or any place you see it). On iPhone or Android, long-press the ๐ symbol, then tap Copy. (If this page provides a โCopyโ button next to ๐, simply tap it.)
Paste into Your App: Open the app where you want to use ๐ and tap the text field. Long-press and choose Paste to insert the ๐ logo. It will appear just like any other character. For example:
On Twitter (X app): You can paste ๐ into your tweet content, or even into your profile Display Name to show the X logo next to your name. Many users add ๐ in their names or tweets to represent the new brand.
On Instagram: Paste ๐ into your bio, caption, or comments to give them a stylish โXโ flair. It works just like an emoji in your Instagram text.
In Messaging Apps: Whether youโre on WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram, etc., you can drop ๐ into your messages. Friends on modern devices will see the cool ๐ symbol (since itโs Unicode, almost all phones can display it). Itโs a fun way to refer to Twitter (now X) or just to decorate your texts.
Thatโs it! The key is to have the ๐ character copied, then you can paste it anywhere you can type. Most mobile apps support this symbol because itโs part of the Unicode standard (itโs been in Unicode long before โXโ was a brand). Think of it like copying an emoji from somewhere and pasting it into any app โ ๐ will show up as a unique โXโ logo character in your posts and chats.
On a computer, you can also easily use the ๐ text logo. Here are a few convenient methods for web and desktop users:
Copy & Paste: The simplest way on desktop is to copy the ๐ symbol from a website (like this page) and paste it wherever you need it. Just highlight the ๐ character, press Ctrl+C (Windows) or Command+C (Mac) to copy, then Ctrl+V / Command+V to paste. This works on social media sites (Twitter.com, Facebook, etc.), in web comments, or even in documents โ anywhere you can input text.
Windows โ Alt Code: On Windows PCs with a numeric keypad, you can directly type the ๐ symbol using its Alt code. Hold down Alt, type 120143 on the numpad, then release Alt to produce โ๐โ. (Make sure Num Lock is on when using this method.) This Alt+120143 trick inputs the Unicode code point for ๐. If thatโs too tricky, sticking to copy-paste is perfectly fine!
Mac โ Character Viewer: On a Mac, press Control + Command + Space to open the Emoji & Symbols viewer (Character Viewer). Use the search bar to find โXโ or โdouble-struckโ โ you should see a fancy ๐ in the results. Select it and it will be inserted into your text field. You can also add it to your Favorites in the Character Viewer for quicker access later. (Tip: After you use ๐ once, it may appear in the โFrequently Usedโ section of the symbol picker on Mac for easy reuse.)
Most modern browsers and sites will display ๐ correctly, since itโs a Unicode character and not an image. Just like on mobile, you can include it in your tweets, posts, or profile text via the web interface. If you encounter a site that doesnโt show ๐ properly (rare, but possible on very old systems), it might show a placeholder box or question mark โ that means the font doesnโt support that Unicode character. But on up-to-date systems, you should see the stylized โXโ just fine.
Tired of copying and pasting every time? On iPhone, you can save the ๐ symbol as a keyboard shortcut using Text Replacement. This lets you type a short snippet (like โxxโ) and have it automatically turn into โ๐โ. Hereโs how to set it up:
iPhoneโs Text Replacement feature (e.g. the default shortcut โomwโ expands to โOn my way!โ) can be repurposed to insert the ๐ symbol quickly.
Open iPhone Settings: Go to Settings โ General โ Keyboard.
Tap Text Replacement, then tap the โ+โ Add button in the top-right corner.
In the Phrase field, paste the ๐ symbol (since you likely copied it earlier). In the Shortcut field, type a custom shortcut you want to use, such as xx or xlogo. (Pick a sequence that isnโt a real word, so it wonโt trigger accidentally. For example, โxxโ isnโt a common word, so itโs a good choice.)
Tap Save. Thatโs it! Now, whenever you type your chosen shortcut and hit space, your iPhone will automatically replace it with โ๐โ. For instance, typing โxxโ + space will magically insert ๐ in any app.
You can now use this shortcut anywhere โ in tweets, Instagram captions, texts, etc. โ without manually copying the symbol each time. Itโs like making your own little emoji shortcut. Pro tip: iCloud will sync text replacements across your Apple devices if enabled, so you could use the same โxx โ ๐โ shortcut on your iPad or Mac as well.
On Android, you can achieve a similar quick insertion by using your keyboardโs personal dictionary or text shortcuts. The steps can vary slightly by keyboard, but letโs cover Gboard, since itโs common on many Android phones:
Open Gboardโs settings: On your phone, bring up the Gboard keyboard (for example, tap on a text field to activate it). Tap the gear icon on the keyboardโs suggestion bar or go to Settings โ System โ Languages & input โ On-screen Keyboard โ Gboard.
Go to Dictionary โ Personal Dictionary, and choose your language (or โAll languagesโ).
Tap the ๏ผ (plus) button to add a new entry.
In the Phrase field, paste the ๐ symbol. In the Shortcut field (sometimes labeled โOptional shortcutโ), enter the shortcut text you want, like xx or xlogo.
Confirm and save the new shortcut (on Gboard you might tap a checkmark or back button to save). Now youโve added ๐ to your personal dictionary.
Using the shortcut: To insert the ๐, just type your shortcut (xx, for example) in any app. Gboard will recognize it and show ๐ in the suggestion bar above the keyboard. Tap the ๐ suggestion, and it will be inserted into your text. ๐ (Note: Gboard usually wonโt auto-replace upon space like iPhone does; you need to tap the suggestion that appears, which is still pretty quick.)
If you use a different keyboard:
Samsung Keyboard: It has a similar Text Shortcuts feature in its settings. You can add a shortcut and expanded phrase there (the interface is under Settings โ Text Shortcuts on Samsung).
Microsoft SwiftKey: SwiftKey lets you create Clipboard shortcuts (sometimes called โclipsโ). Youโd go to SwiftKey Settings โ Rich Input โ Clipboard, and add a new clip with the symbol and a shortcut trigger.
No matter which keyboard, the idea is the same: add โ๐โ as a custom snippet so you can insert it without fumbling around to copy-paste each time. Once set up, you can quickly drop ๐ into any chat or post on Android by typing your shortcut and selecting the symbol.
(Now youโre ready to flex that fancy ๐ on the go! ๐)
Display Names & Bios: A popular way to show off the X logo is by adding ๐ to your profile name on social platforms. For example, you might set your Twitter display name to โJohn Doe ๐โ to align with the new branding. Just edit your profile and paste ๐ where you want it in your name. You can do the same in your bio or description on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, etc. Itโs an eye-catching symbol that instantly tells people youโre talking about X (Twitter). Keep in mind that you usually cannot use ๐ in your actual username (the @ handle), since those only allow basic letters/numbers โ but in the display name or bio text, itโs fine.
Posts and Comments: Feel free to use ๐ in your tweets, Instagram posts, Facebook updates, Reddit comments, or wherever. It can replace the word โXโ in a sentence or just serve as a decorative symbol. For example: โFollow me on ๐ for updates!โ or โLoving the new ๐ vibe ๐ฅโ. Since itโs text, it will blend inline with your message. Just remember that not everyone knows this symbol โ if your audience might not recognize it, you could use it alongside the word โXโ. But for those in the know, it adds a fun, geeky touch to your content.
Compatibility: The ๐ character should display correctly on almost all modern devices and apps. Itโs part of Unicode (added back in 2001), so most platforms treat it like any other text. That said, if someone is on an older system or a device with limited fonts, they might see a blank box or โ?โ where your ๐ is. This is rare nowadays, but it can happen. As a precaution, you might not want to overuse ๐ in very important or formal communications, since a few people (or accessibility tools like screen readers) could misinterpret it. In casual use though, itโs generally fine.
Styling and Readability: ๐ has a distinct look โ kind of like a bold, double-lined โXโ. Note that it might appear slightly different across platforms because each device uses its own font to render it. For example, the ๐ on an Android phone might look just like the official X logo, whereas on a web browser it could have a bit different styling (depending on the font). This is normal for Unicode symbols. Itโs still recognizable as the X logo in most cases, but if exact branding is crucial, remember this is a text approximation of the logo.
Have Fun with It: There are actually two versions of this symbol โ an uppercase ๐ and a lowercase ๐ (๐ฉ) in the Unicode โdouble-struckโ letter set. The uppercase ๐ is the one people use for the logo. You could even get creative and combine it with other Unicode letters or emojis for stylistic names (just donโt go overboard and make your name unreadable!). Since ๐ acts like text, you can put styling around it too, like asterisks or other characters, in platforms that support rich text. Experiment and see what looks cool for your profile.
Using the ๐ logo symbol is a neat way to show youโre up-to-date with the Twitter (X) rebranding and to add some personality to your online presence. Just copy it once, set up those handy shortcuts if you like, and youโll be dropping ๐ into your posts with ease. Enjoy using ๐ across your devices, and happy posting! ๐
