Math symbols such as ∛, ∑, or ≙ can add extra visual information to your Google Sheets spreadsheets. You can insert the characters into Google Sheets using one of the three methods discussed below. Use the method that works best in your spreadsheet.
These symbols are visual only. Use the built-in functions to perform mathematical operations.
Use the CHAR Function
Find the Unicode decimal code for the shape in the table at the end of this article, and insert it using the CHAR function. For example, =CHAR(8777) inserts “NOT ALMOST EQUAL TO.”
Copy and Paste
You can find the symbol you want in the table below, copy the shape, and paste it into your spreadsheet.
Use an Add-On
The Insert Special Characters add-on is the easiest way to insert mathematical symbols. Browse through all the shapes and choose the symbol you want. Then insert the character with just one click.
