Description

UniChar is a powerful yet beautiful Unicode character app and keyboard that allows you to quickly find, type, and work with special symbols. ◣ “UniChar is a cool little app and keyboard, and offers access to a huge world of Unicode characters that are otherwise absent within the standard iOS keyboard.” – iDownloadBlog "On the Mac, you can type any character [with] the Emoji & Symbols viewer ... The selection on iOS is much more limited ...

  • Quits Unexpectedly every time now after Purchase

    I had purchased this app a couple of weeks ago and recently it has started quitting unexpectedly every time I click a character to be copied. It has been like this for a couple of days now. If it were fixed I would give it at least 3 or 4 stars.
  • Perfect. My second keyboard. ✔︎

    Exactly everything I want. I have “text replacements” set up for several ☞ favored ☜ Unicode characters not found on the → keypad ← . Used often in my writing. ✍︎ I prefer Unicode characters over emojis. Matter of taste.
  • No longer works with iOS17 / Magic Keyboard

    [Update] The developer responded: “… sorry the app doesn’t control how the Magic Keyboard works, please reach out to Apple to report any issues with it." So they’re blaming the problem on the Magic Keyboard and telling me to take it up with Apple. No research, no interest in looking into any actual problems, nothing. Up until iOS17 UniChar worked fine. So they’re selling a keyboard app that doesn’t work with one of the most widely-used keyboards for iPad, and refusing to take responsibility for making it actually work. If I could drop a star from my rating I definitely would.

    I don't feel like we should have to pay for extra languages. I'll go elsewhere.

  • Keyboard setup is confusing (edited)

    The instructions for setup are wrong. There's no "UniChar" in my Preferences. For a while there was no "UniChar" in the list of keyboards, but then it appeared after I moved the app to the Home Screen. Is this needed for the keyboard to show up? I don't know! I still don't have it in the main Preferences, so either way, the instructions are out of date and cause unnecessary confusion and anger. Previous review: I paid $5 for something I could get from a quick browser search. I'm very disappointed.

    I had a problem: I needed to enter a specific symbol into text, and neither Apple, nor Google, or Microsoft thought that functionality important enough to provide in their text-centric iPadOS apps. But you did, and for just $5. Now, I can enter any from your exhaustive list of symbols (there might be thousands; I don’t know, because I haven’t counted them) into every app I have that has a paste function, which is all of the ones I care about. And I think that’s pretty great. So, thank you!
