There are many ways to look up ticker symbols. 

  • for modules in WRDS- there is a code lookup option 
  • in Bloomberg - type company name and look under the security section
  • in general - for instance in Chrome type the company name followed by ticker and the ticker and some company information will be displayed

Keep in mind the same ticker can represent different companies in different countries and within a country can be reused.
