Frequently asked questions
Is there an Alt code for ⛪?
No legacy Alt code exists for Church because it is not in code page 437 or Windows-1252. Use the Unicode codepoint U+26EA in HTML, CSS or the Character Viewer instead.
How do I type ⛪ without a numpad?
Use the Windows Character Viewer (Win+.), the macOS Character Viewer (⌃⌘Space), an HTML entity such as ⛪, or copy the character directly from this page.
Why does Alt+9962 not work?
Alt+9962 only works on a keyboard with a physical numeric keypad. It also requires the application to accept the numeric-keypad input path. Laptops without a numpad need an alternative method.
What is the Unicode for Church?
The Unicode codepoint for Church is U+26EA. You can use this value in HTML as ⛪, in CSS as \26EA, and in Word with Alt+X.
How do I type ⛪ on a Mac?
