TypeThem is built and maintained by SKK. This page explains how the site is put together and where its data comes from, so you know exactly what you’re looking at when you copy a character from here.
How character data is sourced
Every codepoint, name, and property on this site is derived from PHP’s IntlChar class, which wraps the ICU (International Components for Unicode) library — the same Unicode reference implementation used by browsers and operating systems. Nothing here is guessed or hand-typed from memory.
Keyboard shortcuts and Alt codes are checked against authoritative sources for each platform (Windows Alt-code tables, macOS Option-key charts, Linux IBus/compose sequences, and the HTML/Unicode specifications for entities and escapes). Where a fact couldn’t be verified, it’s left blank rather than invented.
How guides are written
TypeThem does not mass-generate guide content. A small set of flagship and themed guides are written and verified individually — real per-platform steps, real troubleshooting notes, real confusable-character comparisons — rather than a thin template repeated across thousands of pages. The character data pages that back them are generated programmatically from Unicode data, but the guide layer is deliberately kept small and genuinely useful.
What “copy” actually does
Clicking any key on this site copies the character directly to your clipboard using your browser’s native clipboard API. No account, download, or server round-trip is involved — the copy happens entirely on your device.
Corrections
If you spot an error in a codepoint, shortcut, or Alt code, it’s a bug — this site is built on the principle that every fact should be verifiable, not approximate.
