Infinity Symbols Copy & Paste

Infinity symbols to copy and paste — the classic ∞ and its Unicode variants.

About infinity symbols

The infinity sign ∞ (U+221E) was coined by mathematician John Wallis in 1655 and entered Unicode as a math operator. It's the standard "forever" marker in couple bios and matching usernames. Unicode also carries ♾ (the permanent-paper sign, now emoji-fied on most platforms) and a deep cut: ꝏ (U+A74F), a 19th-century Latin letter literally shaped like a sideways eight.

Frequently asked questions

What does ∞ mean in a bio?+

Forever — endless love, endless ambition, or just a clean geometric decoration. In matching couple bios, two people carrying the same ∞ is the classic move.

Who invented the infinity symbol?+

The English mathematician John Wallis, in 1655 — he used it for an unbounded quantity in a treatise on conic sections. Nobody knows for certain why he chose a sideways eight; the most-cited theory is that it derives from a Roman numeral for a large number.

What's the difference between ∞ and ♾?+

∞ is the math operator — always plain text, font-coloured. ♾ started as the "permanent paper" archival mark and most platforms now render it as a colour emoji. For a decorated username, ∞ is usually the cleaner choice.
