Most APL symbols are present in Unicode, in the [[Miscellaneous Technical]] range,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2300.pdf |format=PDF|title=The Unicode Standard 5.1 Code Charts: Technical Symbols U+2300-U+23FF |access-date=October 12, 2008 |work=Unicode Standard 5.1 |publisher=[[Unicode Consortium]] |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20081002004650/http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2300.pdf |archive-date= 2 October 2008 |url-status= live}}</ref> although some APL products may not yet feature Unicode, and some APL symbols may be unused or unavailable in a given vendor's implementation.

As of 2010, Unicode allows APL to be stored in text files, published in print and on the web, and shared through email and instant messaging. Entering APL characters still requires the use of either a specific [[input method editor]] or keyboard mapping, or of a specific touch interface. APL keyboard mappings are available for free for the most common operating systems, or can be obtained by adding the Unicode APL symbols to existing keyboard map.
