Overview of Unicode Pad for iPhone
Unicode Pad is a character utility for iPhone, created by Ziga Kranjec and built for devices running iOS 11. The paid edition implements the Unicode 11 specification, giving users access to a wide selection of symbols and special characters for many uses.
Main features
- A configurable notepad with several keyboard layouts for organizing and quickly reaching the characters you use most.
- The option to copy groups of characters at once for inserting sequences into other apps.
- Seamless clipboard copying so characters can be pasted into browsers, email, chat apps, notes, and more.
- Tools to share your custom keyboards and export character sets to others.
- Built-in shortcuts to post or send snippets directly via email and social networks.
- In-app links to extended Unicode entries on Wikipedia, letting you read character descriptions without leaving the app.
How it works in practice
Open the app, pick a keyboard or create a custom set in the notepad, then tap to copy a symbol or select multiple characters and copy them together. Paste the content into another iOS app as you would any clipboard item. Sharing and social-posting options are presented alongside each keyboard or character selection.
Suggested alternative
If you want a different approach to fonts and emoji, consider Facemoji Keyboard (also known as FontsEmoji Free) as a popular substitute that focuses on keyboard-driven styling and emoji.
