02 FAQ
How do I type an β umbrella symbol?
Copy it from the keys above, or in Word type 2602 then Alt+X for the plain β, 2614 for the β with raindrops. On phones both are in the emoji keyboard. There is no plain Windows Alt+number code.
What is the difference between β and β?
β (U+2602) is a plain umbrella, often shown in your text colour. β (U+2614) is "umbrella with rain drops" and usually renders as a colour emoji. Use β for a neutral symbol and β for rainy weather.
Is there a beach or parasol umbrella symbol?
Yes, β± (U+26F1) is "umbrella on ground", a parasol on a stand, and π (U+1F3D6) is "beach with umbrella". Both suit holiday, summer and travel content rather than rain.
