So greedy
I couldn’t buy everything because it was too expensive and I only got four
Needlessly Nerfed
When I first purchased this app a few years ago, it was (nearly) everything I was looking for. Over the next couple years, more unicode characters were added to the point where it became everything I was looking for and more.
Recently, however, I’ve noticed that the keyboard has been severely nerfed from its original selection. I mean, there’s maybe a fourth of the characters there used to be at the beginning of 2026, and I’m being generous. The entire mathematical section, which included various alternate fonts, has been removed. The box drawing section has also been removed. Divination symbols, a section that was added in 2024-2025 and was highly intriguing to me at the time, is now nowhere to be seen. The section titles themselves have even been removed! It used to take a minute or two to scroll through all the available symbols, and now I can scroll through everything currently offered in less than 30 seconds. I’m disappointed and will now look to alternatives on the App Store with more and better reviews to fill the gap.
I will concede that I’m using this on an iPhone XS, but I’m not convinced that this is the only factor in the dwindling selection of unicode characters available to me through this paid keyboard. From here on out, it’s easier for me to use my MacBook to access unicode characters than it is to use this app. I definitely got my money’s worth out of it for how much I was able to utilize its features before they were severely handicapped, but currently the developers have left me more disappointed than satisfied.

Practical & still getting better
I use UniChar primarily as a way to add symbols for renaming Pokemon in PokeGo.
It made life so much easier for gaming! Sorting & assigning characters & symbols to represent skills, elements & stats saved hours of time once setup.
UniChar has been useful outside gaming too when I needed to find & enter symbols not supported by the default iOS Keyboard.
The most surprising part was how responsive the developer was. Every-time I ran into issues & contacted him (via the support email), he replied within a few days & addressed the issues once confirmed with an update.
Thank you for making UniChar.
