Double Plus ⧺
⧺ (U+29FA) is a standard Unicode character that you can copy and paste anywhere text is accepted. This page provides a concise reference with safe tips, internal links, and practical guidance so you can use it reliably across apps and platforms.
What it is and where it’s used: Double Plus is part of the Symbols family (block: Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.
History & usage: The character DOUBLE PLUS has the code point U+29FA. It appears in the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B block. It is used as a mathematical symbol to show addition or a combined action in some formulas. The name in English is DOUBLE PLUS. In practice it acts as a symbol for operations or comparisons in formulas and user interfaces. It is part of a larger set of symbols for math. Designers place it where a second plus or a linked operation is needed. The symbol helps readers recognize a repeated action or a pairing in equations. It works in environments that support Unicode text. Users may see it in documents, apps, or calculators that show math symbols. As a code point, it is separate from the basic plus sign. It supports clear notation without adding text words. The symbol is used alongside other operators to convey steps in a calculation or a comparison. It remains a specialized glyph for mathematical contexts.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+29FA in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.

How to type / insert
Fast copy: click the Copy button near the top of this page.
By codepoint: in many editors and IDEs, you can insert via the Unicode code U+29FA or a built‑in character picker.
HTML: use the numeric entity ⧺ (hex) or ⧺ (decimal) when an HTML entity is needed.
Compatibility & troubleshooting
Font support: if the symbol does not render, the current font likely lacks this codepoint. Choose a font with broad Unicode coverage or allow a fallback font.
Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
