I love the one where you can get your font's. I could test noto font's and etc. And i also love where you can put Code point's, Favourite, And information about it.
I like this app. I like to explore strange characters, and find the names of the characters very helpful, for example understanding the meanings of trigrams. For my preference, the "find" function could do with a regex implementation. I have not installed a suitable font on my smartphone, so some characters do not render at all, but that is not a hindrance because other apps I use cannot render them either.
For those who are wondering, the reason why some symbols do not appear is not a bug. It is due to your phone's system font. The characters you'd like to see are not built in to the font, which is something that Unicode Pad cannot fix. Anyways, this app is incredible!! Its stupid easy to use, free, shows thousands of awesome characters from my system font, and its so much fun to use them in conversations where hopefully my contacts can see the characters lol. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
Summarize
UnicodePad is the perfect app for finding the Unicode code for any character you want. Similarly, you can use this app to type any character by copying it to your clipboard and then pasting it anywhere you want.
