## What is Codepoint?

Codepoint contains more than 73,000 Unicodes, including SF Symbols and Emojis. The sophisticated search feature delivers results within a fraction of a second, completely offline. Convert codepoints into any conceivable format, such as HEX, decimals, UTF, USDZ, HTML entities, or Swift code. View and export glyphs as real 3D assets, or experience them on Apple Vision Pro in augmented reality. Additionally, I have annotated a large number of carefully selected entities with typographic notes so that you can always look up how to use each character typographically correctly. As a developer, designer, or typographer, Codepoint shouldn’t be missing from your repertoire of tools. It’s the ultimate type case for the 21st century.

Features
• Explore, search and manage Unicodes
• Over 73,000 Unicodes, including Emojis and SF Symbols, always at hand
• Search and find Unicodes lightning fast and completely offline
• Export glyphs in formats such as Unicode, decimal, HEX, HTML, USDZ
• View entities in 3D and convert them into USDZ models
• Curate your Favorites: They are always synchronized thanks to iCloud

### 4/5 — Lovely and handy

*2025-10-30*

I’m glad I bought this as a reference but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to just copy the symbol and paste it into a document. Works great for html coding, etc, tho.

### 5/5 — I love Unicode

*2025-09-27*

And this app is pretty good too.

### 5/5 — Très efficace et quali !

*2025-05-25*

Fait le job, très ergonomique et exhaustive. Merci au Dev 👍

### 3/5 — Serves a need, could use improvement

*2025-05-11*

This app does a decent job over Apple’s Keyboard Viewer. It could use some improvements:

1. On first launch, the lefthand sidebar is not sized correctly to accommodate the lengths of the character set names.
2. Scrolling performance is choppy on an M2 MacBook Air.
3. Scrolling doesn’t work by hitting spacebar or page down.
4. The text identifiers immediately below the symbol in the righthand sidebar are truncated and do not wrap.
5. If I switch character sets with a search term, and there’s no results, there’s no message to show that there’s more without the search term.
6. The count of characters in a set does not change when a search term is specified.
7. There’s no button to favorite a character. This would be a nice addition to the top or righthand sidebar.
8. The main character panel does not display the character name.
9. Cmd-T does not open a new tab.
10. Drag-and-drop from a character onto a text field would be nice.
11. Selecting a character set without a selected character could display some information on that character set in the righthand panel.

Anyway, that looks like a long list, but I think these are minor things that could be implemented quickly. Otherwise, I like this app and believe it looks like a good, modern Mac app.

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-04-18*

Very good and necessary. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Simple et efficace !

*2025-03-04*

Encore une application d’une qualité irréprochable, je suis assidument les sorties du studio App ahead !

### 3/5 — Incomplet

*2025-02-05*

Très jolie application, comme toutes les applications de ce développeur. Néanmoins il aujourd’hui il n’est pas possible de visualiser en 2D d’autres police que celle de base. De fait on ne peut pas non plus comparer des caractères ou même des chaines de caractères dans différentes polices. Je pensais pouvoir m’en servir pour des besoins d’accessibilité lors du choix des polices pour la conception d’interface. Mais mon besoin n’est pas comblé. En l’état je ne comprends pas trop la valeur ajoutée par rapport à l’app native macOS. J’espère que cela arrivera.

### 5/5 — Highly functional. Exceptionally beautiful!

*2025-01-18*

Highly functional. Exceptionally beautiful. – just bought Codepoint – the developer kept his promise. I’m impressed and love this app. So helpful and well designed.

### 1/5 — Extremely sluggish

*2024-11-29*

This would be really useful, except it is kind of a pain to use because of how sluggish the entire app runs, even on Apple silicon chips. Scrolling through the list is a choppy, sluggish experience. I usually opt to just do a Google search or use macOS’s built in Character Viewer to find the unicode symbols I need because of this.

### 1/5 — Crash quelques secondes après l'ouverture

*2024-07-20*

Bonjour, application achetée mais malheureusement elle crash des son ouverture sur un Macbook Pro 14" M2 Pro   Sonoma 14.5 :(
