“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 ... But UniChar changes that."
– Cult of Mac
"This iOS keyboard app will give you all the Unicode characters you’ll ever need."
– lifehacker
◤
UniChar features thousands of symbols organized neatly into categories*. You can type these symbols in any app with the custom keyboard or quickly search for the symbol you’re looking for in the app – by name or by drawing! It's so much faster and better than googling it. Plus you can access recently used symbols in the Widget or on your Apple Watch and send Unicode stickers with the iMessage app.
For developers, UniChar is an efficient tool to work with Unicode Code Points and HTML Entities. Revamp your workflow with Universal Clipboard – copy on your iPhone, paste in the code editor on your Mac.

This app is great for that fun bio on Instagram or an extra pop to a text message! I use it a lot now. 5/5 stars. And the lack of ads is really a bonus
It works smoothly, nice customizations and all. Though, I would like to see this keyboard in Portuguese!
Great app for wide range of Unicode characters, and the only good one on the app store. Highly Recommended.
I could not for the longest time figure out why certain blocks of characters were greyed out (still haven't figured out why you can't choose to pay, though). Why? Because when you press the most logical part of the UI, which is a little sentence saying you can unlock it, that option is also greyed out and nothing happens, not even the haptic feedback of vibration. Now, I'm going nuts with combinations of long presses, swiping, regular presses, because all I want to do is throw the upgrade fee (a very tiny fee BTW) at the developer. Ah, I think I forgot to mention the part where everything from the app icon to the way the app is structured is classy and functional and exactly the way free applications should look. Nothing flashy, but it looks crisp and I love the way it's divided into logical families of characters as opposed to any other Unicode app which are divided into silly categories like "hearts!" or "happy faces!"...since I can't implement Fira Code on this iPad to play around with cool and USEFUL ligatures, I fin@ d myself using this keyboard all the time. The reason I can't seem to purchase your app in game and probably result in a matter of seconds, so help me out? Let me know how to get out of this godforsaken gray jungle.
The best symbol keyboard on the App Store by far- it's well designed, easy to use, and offers so many characters.
Would give five stars but crashes a lot for me when used with Pokémon Go. Just have to be patient when switching keyboards and then works.

Useful app, but I would like a wider selection of astrological symbols—Juno, Chiron, etc.
I've been trying to find an app where you can have unicodes as a keyboard and this app does just that! This is by FAR the BEST Unicode app ... it's a must download ♡♡♡♡
