What it does
UniChar is a character browser and custom keyboard with symbol search, code-point details and saved favorites.
Use UniChar’s categories, name or code-point search to find a symbol, then keep recurring choices in favorites or insert them through its custom keyboard. Character inspection shows the code points and UTF-8 representation that form a composed character; copy or share the resulting text when it is ready. Drawing search is another input route, with prediction described as on-device and optional submitted drawings used to help the model. All Categories is a one-time paid unlock. The listed 8.2.1 build requires iOS or iPadOS 17 or later; its Mac route requires macOS 14 or later and an M1 or newer chip.
