Still Great… but used to be even better.

The recent update being able to switch off "recents" in the keyboard is great… but I have to say I miss the old functionality.

The app is simpler now, but you used to be able to select which glyphs were visible in the app and keyboard, while maintaining categories. It was very powerful customisation.

Now I just have to fill out favourites if I want something similar without endless noise… it's not as good.

With that said, this app is still the best in its category. It's just simpler now, which I'm sure has benefits too.

Thanks for keeping it alive. Never less than 5 stars.

Latest Update Ruined App

This app used to be so nice for pokemon go naming.

The last update completely changed the UI and now all the characters on my "Favorites" keyboard are WAYY too big and not aligned properly.

This app was great, but can't even use it anymore.. bring back the OLD APP!!

Also PLEASE make icloud syncing for your favorite characters.. my phone broke before the bad update and I just now redownloaded it. I spent like 2 hours adding all my old favorites back in order just to have finished it and realize that the UI changed (for the worse) and is completely different (TOO BIG) and my nice organized keyboard is now a jumbled mess that's impossible to rearrange in an organized manner because the character icons take up way too much space and I can't fit as many. Grrrr #BOO

Also, please make a way to turn of "recents" keyboard! Especially as a default.. I just want one keyboard categories (Favorites) with all the characters I would regular use!


NOTE TO DEVS:
I WILL CHANGE MY RATING IF YOU ADDRESS MY ISSUE WITH NEW UI

Love access to ancient symbols.

Love having access to ancient symbols.

the BEST Unicode keyboard I have found

This is the best Unicode viewer/keyboard I have found. After nearly 20 years of trying Unicode viewing/finding software this is the one that makes characters/symbols/glyphs readily available in the clearest way. Others that I’ve tried go part way but always full short. This is the one that is closest to perfection. Well worth the money — I would recommend it to anybody who needs to use unusual, uncommon or obscure Unicode symbols.

Almost perfect app

I have been using this app for almost 10 years now and I love it. However, I used to be able to decide which symbols are visible in my UniChar keyboard and which are not. This was an excellent feature but for some reason now I can just pick entire categories since some recent update which bothers me a bit. Some categories are huge and I end up scrolling just to find the symbol I have been looking for. The feature is gone or well hidden - I cant find it anymore.

I LOVE this app

I love this app. Because it has almost all Unicode symbols!

Perfeito!!!

Excelente aplicativo, irrepreensível.
Entretanto, não acho o caminho para desbloquear completamente o teclado. Por favor, orientem-me.

Response from developer

Thanks! In the app tap the More button, tap Settings, tap Categories, and tap a locked category to see the purchase prompt.

What happened?

Where did all my characters go? It used to be a full deck now it has nothing I spent like five bucks on this or something what gives?

This is so selfish

Why do i need to pay 1,500 yen just to type every single symbols in this app so IM UNINSTALLING THIS APP BECAUSE I CANT BELIEVE THAT THIS APP IS AN CHEATER ONLY WANT MONEY FROM US CAN YOU REMOVE THIS FEATURE SO IF YOU REMOVE THAT FEATURE I WILL INSTALL IT BACK SO YOU NEED TO REMOVE THE PAYMENT

❤️

I love this app it helps a lot the best part is that there is no ads and that you can copy and paste them, people should make apps like these great job keep going!! (:

Nouvelle version nulle

Les trois quarts des symboles ont disparus, notamment les exposants.
Cette version ne reconnaît même plus certains symboles des anciennes versions comme ⭐︎.
Plus de recherches possibles sur ce symbole : c’est nul!

Update Broke

This app used to be great. I’ve used it daily for years, but the most recent update broke it badly. Tons of characters are missing from the actual keyboard now (unfortunately, ones that I regularly use), and the character display size on the keyboard is too large to be usable. I’d love to see it returned to its original functionality. The only features I’d like to see added, to the extent possible, would be:
(1) add a search feature into they keyboard like the one in the app, and
(2) install a relatively complete font that includes many of the Unicode characters that are missing from the basic iOS fonts (e.g. the et ligature characters).

Response from developer

Hello, you can customize which categories appear in the keyboard in the app’s Settings, there’s now 150+ to choose from! All of the same characters are available in the same categories from previous versions of the app. Reach out to support if you have any questions, I’m happy to help.

Really Good App, But…

So, UniChar is a really good app. I use it every day, definitely worth the money spent. Just, I wish you could add a feature where you can press a button and it downloads some font/fonts that support most of not all Unicode characters.

Another idea, you could add a feature that allows you to view all the characters that are supported in the font that you are using.

Love it

Great app, responsive developer, works perfectly!

Best Unicode App. Period.

I've known and used the UniChar app for many years now and it's getting better and better. When I had a wish (being able to chose the font in which the characters are displayed) and addressed it to the author he implemented it so it's in the latest release (8) – awesome! I haven't found a better app for Unicode characters in the whole App Store. 👍👍

Nice

Unicode list

Your update ruined this app

Where are enclosed numbers? That was the only reason I used this app. Now they are gone?

New Update Broke Keyboard on iOS 26.3

The keyboard used to work just fine, after the most recent update inputs get ignored and cycle to the next installed keyboard. I must then cycle through each keyboard to get back to UniChar to type a few characters before the cycle repeats.
