Very useful (and cool)

Cool app, VERY GOOD resource for Unicode retrieval of characters and description of them! Interface makes it easy to directly jump to major sections of unicode chart, and the ablity to search for characters by text within the description is absolutely a god send!

Be aware this is not the full paid app version, that also includes keyboard which is a must if you don't want to leave this one open all of the time.

With this version you have to switch back and forth between it and the app your working in and copy/paste each character you wish to use one at a time.

Don’t get

It doesn’t work wast of money

Dr. Chris Heard ,

Thank you, Žiga Kranjec!

The iPad natively includes many (though by no means all) Unicode characters, but the iOS keyboards don't provide users easy access to those characters. This app opens up a whole world of possibilities for Unicode text entry. I'll be using it primarily to enter Hebrew text with nikkud, but anybody who wants to access characters that aren't on the system keyboards should definitely give this app a whirl. It's become an important part of my workflow within hours of purchase. As a college professor, I especially appreciate the function that allows me to share my custom keyboards with students and colleagues.

Before you buy, though, be sure you understand that you type the text within Unicode Maps and then copy/paste to get it into other apps (including web pages that accept text input). The app doesn't modify the system keyboards.

One suggestion for future development: add a backspace/delete button to the bar above the keyboard (where the right/left cursor and keyboard selection buttons are).
