Bug: keyboard resets after pressing character

Hello, can you fix how the keyboard will reset back to the starting position of the category after a character is pressed? If I want to type more than one character, or use the fonts to type a word, I have to scroll back to the position I was at after pressing a letter. It would be very nice to have this fixed. Thanks

Hey there, thanks for the review! Unfortunately I haven't been able to reproduce this behaviour, nor has it been reported by other users. Would you mind reaching out directly in the app and letting me know which device model and OS version you're using to help me investigate further? You can find this by navigating to Settings > About > Contact.

Almost perfect

The app is genuinely amazing for what I need it for, these uncommon characters that I often use are made easily accessible and the possibility to make custom keyboards is brilliant. The one thing that lets it down is there’s no return/enter key which means I have to switch between keyboards to start a new line of text. This feature may already exist, but it’s not obvious on how to toggle it if it does exist.

Adding characters on two files

It’s good to add some characters on two files to add more storage when it’s too full!

Almost everything’s good, but there is a problem:

Some of the characters I added in my collections were still there in the app but when I used the CharMap keyboard in other apps some of the characters were omitted.

Here are some bugs and other suggestions :)

Bugs:
All characters in private use area should be grey
Suggestions:
1. batch add characters to collections
2. multi-font support (for app and keyboard because of tofus)
3. Unicode 18.0 support?

Very impressive

Better than the unicode keyboard i used before. Most of the non rendering is probably just IOS’s fault

Thank You

I wrote several game books using the Unicode characters that this app enabled me to easily access.

I used the APL glyphs and combining accents to write messages in my own custom emoji language. And the variety of standard Unicode math typefaces are always available for messages.

And I keep any math symbols and logic language symbols handy. Great for computer science students or engineers.

The box and line drawing glyphs are also nice to keep handy with this keyboard system on iPhone or iPad.

Excellent product. I really appreciate it.

Hey, thanks for the positive review! As of version 4.1, you can change the display font used to render characters. To choose a new font, go to “Settings > Advanced > Character Display Font” and choose a font from the list of installed fonts.

Cool

I get lots of characters

very very good

Very good app, extremely well developed, one very important thing that should be added is the ability to select characters from a set by clicking on them just once and not press long time and then add to file, we need a feature where u click select and then you just have to press on whichever character you like to add it to your personal keyboard

There’s something missing 🥹

I want to type math equations with this app. Instead of writing “𝑏^x”, I want to write it to look different. So, what is missing? The symbol “raised to the power of x” is missing. I can type “𝑏²” but not “𝑏 ^x” in a shorter mathematical form. I actually like this app so far, but the dapper is that missing symbol. I would have given five stars. 😮‍💨

Hey Vayna, thanks for the review! You should be able to achieve this using the superscript characters in the "Digits" category. For example, "superscript four" would let you write the expression "X⁴". If you're specifically using these characters to write math equations, it might make sense to create a custom collection and add any commonly used math symbols, along with the superscript characters.

I love it! A review and a request:

It’s great, it works well, you can add a favorites bar, the important things are easier to find, and it’s free!!! I’m leaving a review, contrary to my strict “no leaving reviews rule” because I don’t like that it’s not 5 stars. Doesn’t make sense to me, it deserves 5 stars. Maybe older reviews bring the rating down.

If I could ask for these: ⁵⁶⁷₆₆₅ but in letter, equation, and inequality form so I can use them for combinatorics and calculus that would be fabulous!

Big issue

It has the same problem as the other custom keyboard apps. Each character is individually formatted to be either (Left to Right) or Right to Left).
It becomes a mess if you're switching between alphabet regularly.
An option would be ideal.

Can you make it so we can use fonts in "Unicode"

This app is wonderful! It's geniunely the best unicode keyboard

I've been searching for a good symbol keyboard for ages now and I'm geniunely flabbergasted by the amount of effort the dev put into charmap!! It has no in-app purchases. Unlike the other apps, it's not asking me to subscribe in the first 5 minutes of opening the app & it's actually functional and clean!!! It looks and feels JUST like an official app honestly. It's completely free and it honestly shouldn't be given how much work the dev put into the app. just.. don't make it mandatory because I'm still broke haha-
