Very Useful!!

I cannot say enough how much this app has helped me. I like designing on Canva on my iPad but every time I wanted to use glyphs I had to go to my very old computer and copy the glyphs. Now I don’t need to!! I did a lot of research before buying because I wanted to make sure it would work and I’m so glad I decided to take the leap. If you need to copy glyphs to Canva, this will work, just make sure you follow the right steps. You do need to download the font you want, upload to Canva and make sure said font is selected when you paste your glyph, download iFont and install the font to your device using iFont, then browse installed fonts on Unicode Character Viewer, find the font and glyph you want and click on the share button and copy, then you can just go to Canva and paste on your text box. Seems like a lot but is pretty simple, plus once the font is already installed next time you just need to copy and paste.

҉ ҉ Buy it 😭 Characters are MINT

I want to gatekeep this but nahhhhhhhh it’s PERFECT. I don’t use fonts but even if i needed to download them i do not care, it’s a simple youtube video. what i need was the characters and i could copy and paste straight from the app

Ѡ Ѡ to the Dev ✅

No glyphs

I cannot view the glyphs on a otf file, it doesn’t even come out as an installed font at all, it was just a waste of money, I want my money back..

Works Now

I bought this to be able to copy font glyphs into Cricut Design Space and Adobe Illustrator. At first, I could not view my installed apps in the Unicode Character Viewer app at all and it seems that this has been a problem for a lot of people. I ended up deleting the app but then reinstalled it to have another go. I must have spent about 2 hours watching videos and searching online, turning computer on and off, etc and trying various random things. However, all of a sudden my apps appeared and I have no idea how. It seemed to be after I went into Cricut Design Space and started typing with one of my fonts. I thought I had already done that multiple times and wouldn’t have thought this would have made any difference to the Unicode app. Might it have kickstarted something in the iOS system? Who knows? All I know is I’m pleased it’s now working how I wanted it to!

Funktioniert nicht

Findet nur Apple-Standardschriften - keine einzige meiner gekauften und manuell hinzugefügten Schriften wird erkannt

Legit!

The people rating one star, genuinely don’t know how this app works. I use this app on both my iPad and IPhone. Fonts have to be downloaded into your settings if you want to have access to them! I use ifont for that. I love this app honestly.

Ignore the negative reviews

Like many others, I needed access to glyphs for design. I create digital planning products using my iPads. I design in Procreate and Adobe Fresco primarily, and I have access to all my installed fonts and glyphs & they copy/paste just fine in every app I use.

To everyone who thinks it doesn’t work - you need to actually INSTALL the fonts first! This is not a font installer - hence being called Unicode Character VIEWER.

First, install your fonts to your iOS device using iFont or AnyFont, then you’ll be able to view & copy your glyphs with this app.

Works FLAWLESSLY & I love that the developer continues to update it after all these years. Happy to pay & support the developer - worth every penny!

Works Perfectly with Procreate

I use this app to use with Procreate. Sharing the glyph then paste.
By default it doesn't show what you've installed in Procreate. Users need to install fonts the system way. I use Ifont for that and install the profile.

No sirve

Es perder el dinero no funciona en el iPad ni en el iPhone

Findet nicht alle installierten Schriften

Leider kann findet die App nicht alle Schriften, die ich installiert habe.

Really good for Cricut projects!

Very simple and easy app to use! I watched at tutorial on YouTube and there weren't many steps at all! At first I was a bit hesitant to download the app due to the bad reviews, but I downloaded it anyways. Definitely worth the $0.99!

Only shows factory installed fonts

It only shows fonts that have been factory installed, not fonts from other sites. Unless I’m doing something wrong, but then again there is no instruction on how to add aftermarket font files.

perfect for crafters

if you are addicted to crafting, you need this app! i was able to change my fonts from boring to WHOAAAAA. This app is awesome!

Make sure you have iFont in order to use this

After some tweaking I’m very happy

Rip off

Can’t use downloaded fonts, only iOS fonts. Absolute bs

You can use glyphs, but need to add fonts to your iPad first

Like many others, I came here after seeing a design bundles video showing how to copy glyphs and paste them into procreate. Initially I was disappointed that fonts I had download were not visible through this app. But, I found you need to first add the fonts onto your operating system and then they will be visible. I did this by using the ifont app. It wasn’t a clear process but it worked.

Other negative reviews are correct.

I was a reluctant purchaser based on so many negative reviews. But I want to access alt glyphs with Procreate, and online tutorials show this app as working well. Nope. What a waste of money and time.

Good app

an amazing app for the iPad to transfer glyphs. Just wish I could favourite a font instead of the glyph itself.

Works for what I need it for

Gives me Access to the special glyphs for my fonts. Using it to copy & paste special characters into Cricut Design space. Took a hot minute to figure it out but now it’s working like a charm. Yay for extra swirls and alternate letters 👍

Disappointed

Most of what I want to copy won’t. It is blank when copied over. Very disappointed. I know it was only a dollar but still to much for how it functions.
